early m1 helmet

[patches3]

i am looking for an m1 helmet that has fixed bales. the one i found is front seam, and original paint. i wanted to know about the chinstraps. instead of the usual sewn edges of the chinstraps there is something that is more like a staple. is this real or not.

Chinstraps are not us.

[António Fragoeiro]

Steve is correct.

Those are not US issue.

Cheers
Nuno
