Corporals M1, front seam fixed bail.

[Nathan362]

Hello all,

My mom found this gem at an estate sale a couple of months ago. It came with a foot locker that had a lot of interesting stuff, although this is the top find. The guy never was sent over seas, but that doesn't matter a whole lot when you find a complete helmet, plus the locker! I have to give cudos to my mom for her sharp eye, and knowing what kind of stuff I like to collect!








Cracks on the rear left of the shell.


Firestone liner...

What a beautiful helmet... I think you meant to say front seam though, not rear.

[Nathan362]

Haha, you are correct ObKrieger! I fixed it as soon as I noticed it. *face palm*

Cricket, I do understand the need at the home front for sure! I meant what I said in no way downplaying his service!
