Just another M1 and liner: Authentic US WW II?
Dear all,
May I ask you about anothter 'pot' please? What do you think about? Authentic US WW2? Please don't feel disturb that I present currently a lot of M1 but I am just new about looking for an authentic US WW II M1 and so - although I have informations by this forum and the literature - I have not the right feeling for these helmets at the moment. I hope it's okay for you?
With best wishes

Seems like a nice, late-WW2 helmet and liner. Paint looks original too. Of the ones you posted this one looks the most original, but like I said it is late-war (front-seam with green chinstraps). Sweatband might be post-war though.
Hi Alter. Do you own this helmet or is it being offered for sale. It looks to be a schleuter made helmet but hard to tell without more detailed pictures. Need to be able to see the maker marks on the helmet and the liner to be more sure of dating this piece you have.
You have been on a role Alter with these M1's. Did you find a warehouse of pristine surplus helmets someplace??

can i get a closeup of the texture of the pot, in my opinion it seems a little darker and more coarse then the normal cork texture. maybe its just me! i have one exactly like this same chinstraps, rear seam, dark color and what i think is a rough texture
Dear all,
Thank you very much for your evaluations! Sorry, I have no additional pics, the helmet doesn't belong to me.
Yes, indeed, a nice idea to find such a warehouseby AZPhil

PhilHowever in reality I am just on the search for an authentic WW 2 M1.
I wish you a Happy New Year!
