    Hello again esteemed M1 enthusiasts! As a predominantly German collector, I have enjoyed so much learning about m1's recently. Learned tons, but lots of further learning to do.
    Today I present what I believe is an MP marked (immediate post-war); WW2 fixed bail, front seam. No liner. But remnants of Khaki chinstrap. Heat stamp is a nice early 196C. Please provide insight if I'm incorrect on it being post-war MP as I suspect

    I give utmost thanks to a mega-WW2 MP post (about 10years ago) on another forum showing the different styles of wartime MP stencils, ad-hoc markings found commonly during the war period (mine isn't one of them), and accompanied by period photographs showing their use. I would love to post some of that thread here for posterity. Not sure how cross sharing works, or if it's frowned upon. But it helped me, and I'd like to help others on this awesome forum.

    Forgive the 'hot and cold' lighting - I gotta sort that out...

    Hopefully I can post this. But it's the WW2 reg's on MP insignia and also many known examples. I hope I can post more; but again, it's coming from a different forum. My helmet does not fall in line with these known markings.
