Did I find my helmet

I think you found a similar helmet. But yours is minus the camouflage.

Thanks Steve for the reply. I was excited to possibly find another helmet with the v or Roman numeral. It is nice to maybe able to place it in the war time frame and use.

Similar helmet here:

"U.S. WW2 Fixed Bale M1 Helmet with liner. Appears to be some type of painted V on front of helmet and liner appears to have navy type grey paint remenants. Liner marked with Mine Safety Applicance (MSA) logo." Real or not I don't know as its not my thing!!
