In stock
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII likely McCord M1 Helmet shell which was depot-refinished for use during the Korean War. The helmet is matched with a fine Korean War CAPAC Westinghouse liner. The OD Green helmet cover is a great Korean War example and is in lovely condition. The shell also has the correct green T1 chinstrap.
This is a very nice example of an early 1950s issue M1 Helmet as used during the early Vietnam Conflict. The shell has swivel bales and a manganese steel rim with a rear seam. There is an incomplete heat lot stamp of 178A. It is fitted with a correct Korean war T1 style chin strap, which uses bent metal brackets to attach to the "bales", and also has a separate connector in the buckle, designed to break if put under excessive strain, preventing injury.
The helmet is complete with a late issue, Korean War Era, "High Pressure" liner and leather chinstrap, with a CAPAC stamp on the crown over the Westinghouse W logo with 51 52 around the CAPAC logo, likely denoting a 1951-1952 date. The liner has retained most of its original paint. The interior has clean OD7 Olive Drab HBT Webbing secured by blacked “A”-Washers. The sweatband is present with heavy wear. The leather chinstrap is still present.
This is a nice, complete example of a Korean War M1 helmet.
