Wozzers a westy duck liner awesome made between 65-69 shell is from 65 -76 depending on heat treatment stamp,how i love duck liners........

please stop trying to date Helmet sets just by a clip in sweat/head band,this was just one vital componant of an M1 set and parts were replaced etc and may well carry parts from differants decades.

now that I'm learning more about them, I soon might be able to date them correctly, I have to check if I can find a heat treatment stamp

I'm thrilled:
I found the heat stamp in the shell: 4692

and I found the date in the head band:

Liner Soldiers Steel Hemet
66-1 Infantry Type 1
25 july 66

Heat stamp looks like a Parish Division of Dana, late 60’s.

A very nice liner considering the age. I think the actual age of the shell would match up closely with the dates seen on the liner. I agree could well be a Parish Division… or perhaps a RJ Stampings shell. Parish produced almost two million shells between 1968-1970. The OD Colour matches well (munsel 10?). RJ Stampings, who I believe were a Canadian company, produced a similar amount of these shells in the early to mid-1970’s. Roughly speaking, the distinction appears to be on the size of the numbers. Small are seen to be Parish where RJ are larger, more like WW2 era stampings.

Thanks for the information.
I'm trying to find some information about the Parish Division of Dana, what company is it?

Is there a list of heat stamp numbers and dates?
