Vietnam period U.S. Navy M1 helmet

[Redstalker]

I have here what I believe to be a U.S. Navy M1 produced by ingersol the stamp number being 1 0241 (correct me if I'm wrong). The colour looks white on the pics but it is a pale blue colour. The liner is an M58 liner produced by marmac see liner stamp markings. The liner and pot are Vietnam period pieces. At the moment it has a late Korean to early Vietnam helmet cover over it with a repro rubber helmet band. I have a couple of more Vietnam helmets to put up soon. Thanks for looking guys.

nice vietnam navy lid, i like it without the cover on. Ive got the exact same thing but different manufacturers and the back of the helmet has numbers from a gunner

The grey painted helmets were used by the coastal patrol swift boats like this sailor in the photo in Vietnam.

The guy in the photo is wearing a WWII surplus helmet - you can tell by the chinstraps (sewn on).
