Description
This is an original Vietnam War U.S. rear seam swivel loop M-1 helmet shell. Unfortunately, the lot number is partially concealed beneath the interior's field repaint, however, it appears to begin with a "2". Scratched into the shell's interior is "238-569". In addition to the original field repaint, the helmet retains its original texture and single OD#7 (green) chinstrap. The chinstrap's originally black painted steel hardware was repainted green. The chinstrap's bracket is stamped with a small anchor.
Provenance
Private Collection, Dallas, Texas
Condition Report
This helmet shell is in fair condition, with wear consistent with that of a combat-used example. Unfortunately, one of its swivel loops and the corresponding chinstrap are missing.
