Well for $60 Bucks you simply cannot get a finer shell Mark,looks almost un-issued mate,luv the stress cracks just adds character,the chinstrap and Brass hardware are like new,certainly a good one you found there,hope the liner finding went ok.......

Well done Mark again on obtaining a minty liner to go with your minty McCord,with experience comes knowledge and a keen eye,no need to go looking for an "S" it wont be there as you can tell straight away by the Bales its a McCord,its still difficult to tell by the liner pics whether the "A" washers are minty Green or Black because of the sheer lack of wear to them,I havn't seen many un-issued liners to compare this example to so its difficult at best,the sweatband is a Mid-war green version,quite desirable in itself,the leather chinstrap is the last wartime production variant with black painted steel hardware,can't wait im all excited like a big kid,post up when you can..........

Hi Mark,
Nice liner there.
Can you please post a photo of the liners chin strap (back of the bucke), there should be either UNITED CARR, or DOT on.
Thank you and regards,
Taka

Hi Taka I checked the back side of the rivet on the helmet chinstrap buckle and it is marked CARR.
Regards Mark
