Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and a newbie to collecting M1 helmets.
I would like to ask about this M1 helmet that is soon-to-be imported from the USA. It shows a light green finish (possibly post-war repaint, but not too sure). The seller describes it as "WWII US M1 Swivel Bale Rear Seam Helmet with Nice Straps". Not too sure about the straps, if someone could possibly point out if they are original or not.
The heat stamp can be seen a bit, I can only make out a 1,7 a very faded 1 and either a 4 or A. It shows cork texture, so I know it is not Nam era.
I would much appreciate if someone could help me work out if this is a late WW2 M1 helmet.
