Beyond the basics identifiers I’m not that confident in identifying late WWII and Korean war vintage M1s. I would like to thank NickD for the effort put into the ‘stickies’ in the forum, these have helped a lot.
I’m interested in the helmet below and would be grateful if some of you could confirm or ridicule my belief that this is a late WWII vintage helmet. The images are from the seller, it’s a rear seam, swivel bale. The shape of the shell looks to be a deeper type, the chin strap looks to be correct also, although the rivet is a question mark.
The liner is a bit more ambiguous, there is no photo that shows the front of the liner, before I ask for more images, is there anything shown that would make this a post war liner. I think the headband has been replaced.
It wont be the first time I've got it wrong this year, so please throw any feedback on this.
Thanks.
Steve
