Hi there,
I´ve received another USM1 Helmet.
What do you think about it?
Is it a McCord?
What time is it from?
Cheers,
Chris

The cover is from 1974. I can’t tell the date on the sweatband and the helmet has sewn on chinstraps so be for the early 50’s. You have a mixture of components from multiple decades.

Hi,
many thanks, it's very interesting.
Cheers,

One more question,
so it´s Korea or Vietnam war time, except of course the cover?
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris the shell is a WW2 front seamed swivel looped McCord with bartacked chinstraps made around june 1944.the liner is known as a P64 nylon or combat M1 liner made by Firestone and will be most likely from 1967 but could be the early 1964 contract.
