Austrian m/17 helmets with Finnish army depot made liners. This type was used from the late 1940's or early 1950's to the end of 1950's. The liner is a copy of German WWI helmet liner with a leather ring. Most were made by Talousvarikko central depot, some by cloth-repairing depots. Leather parts were cut and suplied by nahkaleikkaamo army workshop in Hämeenlinna. Leather material was of calf or lamb, mostly cut out of left-over parts, and ripped army rags were used as stuffing in the pads. This liner type was replaced by the Finnish-made so-called m/55 liner.
German m/17 helmet refurnished with a German m/31 liner.
A refurnished WWI-type helmet. Like the army made "classic type" liners this liner had no official designation either. Sometimes it is called the "m/55 liner" as the type came to use with the German bought m/55 helmets. Liners were mostly made by Finnish company Veljekset Åströmin Nahkatehdas, some also by Friitalan Nahka Oy or Olkainvalmiste Oy companies. The liner has a leather hood and a foam plastic ring fixed into a fiber ring. This liner was not adjustable but was made in several different sizes. The production and use started in the late 1950's, first m/55 helmets were even furnished with the "classic type" liners.
