The helmet is of gray color. It has a light colored leather sweat band. The liner consists of a canvis strap that weaves around to
create a cradle that rests over the head. A string ties the different sections into a single point at the crown. The liner is
riveted to the main body in different parts. A canvis chin strap is attached to each side of the helmet.
The unusual thing about this helmet is that it comes with a paper that has indtructions on how to adjust the liner.
The headgear from many countries are currently being
reproduced.
It is becoming more difficult to be able to tell the fake ones from the real ones because
the quality of the reproductions are improving. The collector must become familiarized with
the construction style and materials employed in the manufacturing of these medals.
Attention to the details is critical in order to be able to determine the authenticity of
the collectible.
