    Worth saving this helmet liner

    I picked this up at a junk shop for five bucks and was wondering how old it is, and if it's worth saving because i have plans that involve taking a dremel to it.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Pics are a bit difficult to see well, but the liner is torn at the front and you won't be able to repair that. The paint can be stripped with a liquid so no dremel is required. It looks like an older liner (Korea) but it's hard for me to see well...not much you can do for this one though.
    Regards, Jim

    It's not really that rare. There's a few here that may be able to give more info from the small pics, but it's not good enough shape and rare enough to do what you have planned...just older and damaged.
