M1 from the 41st Infantry Division

I just picked up this M1 at a local antique mall this afternoon. It’s the first M1 I’ve bought and I just figured I’d share a few pictures here. It has the insignia of the 41st Infantry division on the liner shell as well, so it more than likely saw some use in the Pacific theatre

Can't comment on the decals....the pics are sideways & the old man can't twist his neck to see.

Well.. it looks like a decent M1 to me. If he decals are post war applied.. hard to tell, the liner is WW2 & so is the shell.

Is it a rear seam or front seam lid? I cannot make out from the pics. I like the finish on the lid and the liner.

It’s a front seam lid

Picked it up for $75, did I do good? I've heard conflicting things on the current values of these, and I know the manufacturer of the helmet/liner can make a difference too

I will give you £80, nice set. source a nice leather chinstrap to go with it.
