    Do not look W.W.2. The ends should be sewn on. Not using metal clamps to hold them like on the 'Nam era helmets. If there is a anchor on the "buckle" end then they are 'Nam era U.S.. Rich A. in Pa.

    Thanks guys
    Had the chance today to compare the chinstrap and buckles to one fitted to a Korean era M1. Will be returning them to the suppliers after the Chirstmas break.
