That's right, no problem. But be careful with the chin strap; it's best to put it back in "standby" position on the visor, using the small button and its lock slot, because when the leather is dry, the position shown in the photo tends to break after the 4th scallop.

Just curious is the chinstrap complete and also how is the liner
depending on the answers the value will only go up.

Actually, to be a bit pedantic, the helmet is wearing a pattern 1886 Wappen (frontplate). You can tell by the incorporation of the laurel leaves on the Wappen.
In February of 1914, the officers Wappens were simplified by the elimination of the laurel leaves.

My beloved wife attended Grammar School in England. I live in pedantic.
