Description

This is an original WWII U.S. M-1 helmet set. The front seam swivel loop helmet shell was manufactured by Schlueter Manufacturing Co. of St. Louis, Missouri and exhibits a lot number of "310B", approximately dating its production to late-1944. The helmet retains its original olive drab factory finish, cork texture, and OD#7 (green) chinstraps with steel hardware. The helmet's liner was produced by Seaman Paper Company of Chicago, Illinois. 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, neckband, and blackened brass buckled leather chinstrap. Painted atop the liner's original olive drab factory finish is "V-4 DIV. 7", which is likely of USN origin.
