Hi everyone,
I thought I'd share a couple of photos of my M1 helmet. I purchased it in the early 1970s while visiting junk shops with my dad. Its interesting to think back on it now because I was'nt too excited ....I was looking more for German militaria, which seemed more more sought after at the time.
I don't know a great deal about these but from what I can tell it is a fixed bail type with a Type 3 cover, and it has a Westinghouse liner (I've taken it apart only once to clean off some rust...you can see that over the years [before I purchased it] rust had bled through the cover). Also, it has what I think may be a field repair (black thread) to the strap. Unfortunately, I don't have anymore pictures other than these at the moment, but will try to take some additional shots if anyone's interested. Thanks for looking.
Tom
