On my cell phone so can't see much. Loose pins on there own do not necessarily mean the liner has been replaced. Could be just due to long term wear. And from my small phone screen it looks like a single band aluminum liner band which would be ok for an M35.
That said, I do have concerns over the paint on the inside.
Please wait for others

Thank you for the response, MAP.
I personally don't have many issues with the helmet, other than not knowing if the main darker paint is wartime or not. (For the price, I am not too concerned with the interior's lighter green paint)
I also am a little confused on the decals, because they look as if they were painted over, but also in the areas of where the paint is chipped they don't show much signs of the expected colors of the decals. Maybe that is actually the outline of where the sticker was.

Hi Hanner,
The photos tend to blur when enlarged but from what I can see paint looks like original factory applied smooth green on much of the exterior and rear skirt. Looking at where the decals were I am wondering if they were period painted over (just the decals) as there appears to be a slightly darker shade over those areas. The paint in the dome looks post war and perhaps added to cover the pitting or some rust. You do see some liner pins with considerable paint missing but all three would be a little odd. You should ask for some closeups of the liner pins located between the leather and band to see if they have any double bends. Liner looks good as does the single ply aluminium liner band.
