Description

This is an original Vietnam War U.S. M-1 helmet set. It is decorated with an original Mitchell pattern camouflage helmet cover marked "DSA-1-4540-64-C", dating its production to 1964. The rear seam swivel loop helmet shell is actually a reissued WWII example produced by Schlueter Manufacturing Co. of St. Louis, Missouri. It exhibits a lot number of "496A", approximately dating its production from late-1944 to 1945. The helmet retains an original olive drab repaint, texture, and OD#7 (green) chinstraps with black painted steel hardware. The helmet's liner features black painted steel A-washers and a September 14, 1964, dated OD#7 suspension. It comes complete with its original headband, which also dates to 1964. The liner's exterior retains its original olive drab factory finish.
