Yes the helmet liner and chinstrap are original. I also have 2 ww2 romanian helmets that have the same liner. The helmet was repainted in the comunist era.


Here is the picture with the m31 liner.

and i wasnt sure if the helmet liner is original.. because to me the lether seemd to thick and the holes at the bottom of the liner where u put the string trough seemd to big.. compare with the M31 german liners that i have seen befor.

The liner is original but it is M34 not M31.

And it's in very good condition.

You're right about the liner I was referring to the helmet, which is M34 (again the Dutch designation).

I've seen 2 weeks ago one for sale in Bucharest for 170ron and in the same day I've seen, at an other antic shop, three more helmets going for 390ron each. All with m31 liner, and post war paint and in a condition similar to yours but without the signature.

So you see, the difference in prices is very big.
