The liner does have some signs of wear present to it. According to my research, many refer to this helmet has the “Hmmler Helmet” due to the SA being issued these helmets in the early 1930s before the large scale German rearmament of the mid to late 1930s. Overall, this is a fairly rare piece that doesn’t come for sale too often. Check out our website. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. I sell many antiques, and there might be signs of wear or even damage present.
