Hauser1920 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I own very few helmets, and half of them are pots, so I have what I'm afraid is a very uneducated question. Is there any safe way to remove the entire liner of a Spanish Civil War helmet (or any other liner that's partly bolted to the helmet)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can remove liners, however you really shouldn't as the retaining clips get bent and the helmet never really looks, or is, untouched again...

Hauser1920 Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Mainly the size of the helmet. Removing the entire liner and putting some lighter one in would've made it a fraction larger on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davejb Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I agree with Lenny, The only time I may take the liner out is if the leather is rotting and it is starting to rot the inside of the helmet, but even this can be stopped by adding a preservative 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
