Korean and World War Helmets The Same pattern. I have the original World War II and the Same helmet shape. Korea changed after the figures, it would not be the same.
Please post your US M1 helmets here.

The more I look at the first photo the more I think that it is a WWII ear helmet, repainted as yuengling325 indicated....but the heat stamp still looks post WWII. I'd better leave this alone, I'm probably just confusing things now...LOL.
i would says its a 1960's M-1 from the shape & the paint job if you could get clearer pictures of the paint finish but its for sure a post war US M-1.
