My M1 helmet #2

[Redstalker]

Here is my second M1 ww2 helmet. It is a McCord 741C which I date to about December 43. The helmet has S.9713 written into the rear inside and unknown what this means. The liner is a Firestone which I date to about early 43 to mid 44. The liner has been repainted a dark green unknown if this a period paint job I'm sure someone will let me know. You can still see the original paint job from chips in the paint. Thanks for looking.

Again a great shell with correct blackened steel hardware,no idea on liner paint,usually seen on postwar sets so maybe KW issued,keep coming with your awesome collection...............

Got an early war M1 with a first pattern Hewley liner to show soon so watch this space.

The S9713 is probably an initial and the last four digits of a service number, which is often seen on US clothing, webbing and helmets etc.
