Someone commented that the original had only 4 "bumpers"This was no so, and I can only surmise that his example were missing some.I have 6 original examples in various states of disrepair.Dated 1940 to 1953,and they all have 8 bumpers.None of them can fit my head,hence my resorting to a reproduction.Some people like to tell us that it is because the older folk had small heads-0 they ate poorly! (they didnt have KFC or Macdonalds!)
I have had the the pleasure of knowing many veterians over the years and can confirm that they came in all shapes and sizes.The greatest Commonwealth hero of the Second World War,Double V.C winner and my compatriot Charles Upham rarely wore a helmet.When asked why not, he said it was because he couldn't find one that fitted!.That is not uncommon.These reprodutions are what the description says they are.Fine reproductions made from quality material,Perhaps a little shallower than the real thing,and the larger sizes are a little difficult to stuff into an original shell.Well worth the effort though!.

Excellent replacement liner. Did have to remove some of the rubber bumpers for a proper fit into the liner. I have a original it has only 4 bumpers instead of the 8 on the repo. This is a must item for anyone who wears their MK II in the field.
