WW2 US PARA RIGGERS HELMET HELP !!!!

Hi Everyone
Once again i would like to say thanks to all the people that are bringing light to my collection
I purchased this helmet as a ww2 para riggers helmet , i personally think that it looks correct and is a rigger made helmet could i please have some feedback on the helmet and tell me if u think it is a rigger helmet. Either way i believe it was a luietenants helmet as there is a long retangle missing in the middle of the helmet if u look closely
Thanks
Dean

 

looks front seam, which is correct for WWII, liner looks correct too! minus it's head band?, overall! happy helmet it would appear..

 

I was reading that in ww2 due to the lack of para liners in the early part riggers made para liners basically on the spot for the paratroopers that didnt have them. I have had a look at where the rivets where placed in the liner and they look like they have been there a long while, i.e due to rust. I paid £220 do u think thats reasonable ?
Regards

price is what I would expect to pay for a genuine one, and it appears to be all correct, liner poss inland/capac nice piece..
