Early M1 helmet front seam fixed bail question

**Cort169** · 05-01-2018, 09:48 PM

I got a M1 helmet and wanted to run it by the experts on this forum. everything looks good and all the parts are marked correctly but the paint looks a little odd to me compared to other WW2 helmets since it such a light and I cant see the marker mark under the paint. I have been told by one collector that it was all original and it was a schlueter m1 helmet early war pot with a late war liner in it but that is all I know was just looking for a few more opinions on it thank you.

It is a ww2 m1 helmet fixed loop as said. The liner a late war liner but I would like to see the leather chinstrap buckle and the helmet chinstrap buckle plus the J hook. The loops look to be Schlueter.
Who is the make of the liner.

thank you here is one of the chin strap and another of the liner really hard to read the number on the buckle but it says united carr on it.

The bras buckle is late war also. Do you have pictures of the helmet buckle and J hook?
The helmet liner manufacturer is on the inside on the dome.
