Can you ID my m1 helmet?

[NickD]

looks like a very nice 1960's era M-1 to me add a camo cover & foliage band (without cats eyes) & you'll have a good NAM representative M-1 for display.

yes I am planing of getting them next week :-D

Very nice, and it's made by Westinghouse, could be Vietnam era, it has the Anchor of the chin strap,so it all points to that potential era.

I have a Greek Lizard print cover, that would sit nicely on this Greek used M1 ( I traded it with James,as a matter of fact) it is interesting to see a Greek used M1,as other than reference pictures I have not seen any,so thanks for showing this fine example!!

A great find in my opinion!

of course the lizard helmet cover opex ,im glad you still have it i still cherish the choc chip m1 cover ,regards james

i also agree with opex ,as it is greek issue m1 the lizard pattern cover would be more in keeping especially with the wearers inscription on the liner band than fitting a us nam mitchell cover ,it would be compared to me fitting a canadian net to my british issue mk11 but its your helmet so its entirely up to you greek militaria

[GreekMilitaria]

I wanted to make it look more "Vientam" but the Greek's soldier name on it can go well with a lizard cover i will think about it

[James C]

great stuff greek militaria ,what ever you decide dont forget to post the results on herejames

[GreekMilitaria]

i will update the thread with a new picture when i finish with it don't worry i will tell you

[The woodpecker]

I think that we(Greek Army i mean) are still using M1 shells among with Kevlar ones

[GreekMilitaria]

yes but not the 70s made though newer ones

[ruddersrangers44]

Looks to be be a post 68 made shell with the original paint underneath and the liner was produced between 64-69...............Jake.
