Description
This original WWII U.S. M-1 helmet set is named to an "M J. Stevanus". The front seam swivel loop helmet shell was manufactured by McCord Radiator & Manufacturing Co. of Detroit, Michigan. The lot number is concealed beneath the interior's field repaint. In addition to the original field repaint, the helmet retains its original cork texture and OD#7 (green) chinstraps with brass hardware and a steel T1 J-hook assembly. The helmet's liner was produced by Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It features blackened brass A-washers and an OD#3 (khaki) suspension, approximately dating the liner's production from mid-1944 to 1945. The suspension comes complete with its original headband and blackened brass buckled leather chinstrap. The liner retains its original olive drab factory finish.

Private Collection, Dallas, Texas
Condition Report
This helmet set is in good, used condition; however, the leather chinstrap is fragile, though, and should not be excessively handled.
