Probably against the rules but has anyone got an Israeli chinstrap for a M1? As I bought one without the strap. It is marked on both shell and liner with the Tzahal acceptance mark and dated 1970.

Whatever its just an opinion.
I'm going to add this one here also, IDF 602 vehicle crew helmet.
I know next to nothing about these except they were first used in 1982 and they don't surface very often.
The shell is much thinner than the 201s and rough finish inside, unfortunately the label inside has come off. It' is secured to the Gentex CVC helmet with three press studs.
Gentex parts are dates 2008 and 2009
This photo from the 1982 Lebanon war, shows an M113 crew, 2 with this type, the one on the right has a 601, and the one on the left looks, by the size an shape, to be the ballistic variant of the M1 liner with 3 point chinstrap. (Shown in post #61, by Roger)
Might as well add my IDF lids here

Picked this one up a couple of weeks ago, it’s not in great condition but interesting because it is a converted HSRAC.
I’m assuming late WWII helmet, the inside has the original brown paint, it has the dimple on top from the ‘Lift the Dot’ mount. The lugs from the original chinstrap have been flattened and left in place.
The LtD mount has been removed to rivet in the oval foam pad. The liner is the Israeli copy of the HSAT as is the chinstrap.
