Liner band is in reinforced aluminium & dated 1943. Two different manufacturers produced the reinforced aluminum band with dates 1941 & 1943. Chinstrap present & with correct aluminium buckle & securing stud. A very faint maker marking to underside of rim can be discerned as 'EF' ( Fulda) with lot number at rear of helmet.
