Like the topic says, looking for a M42 that will actually fit my size 60 noggin. Any ideas on source? Everyone seems to be selling the Chinese models with the 58/66 liner/shell (got one today, and had to sell it on immediately...).

Needs a coat of RAL6006 or similar.
I'm a 60/61 and one of these fits me.

Already have one of those M35's, but specifically looking for a M42 now for a mid- to late-war impression. I see SOF sells original shells with a size 60 liner - at 175 quid (about 148 for a non-UK buyer, but still...). Should probably bite the bullet and get one of those, if nothing else comes up.

M35 is perfectly good for mid-late war?
