Description
This is an original WWII USMC camouflage M-1 helmet cover. The cover exhibits foliage slits in both the crown and the tongues - a characteristic of first pattern covers, production of which began in September of 1942. It features the distinctive double-chain center stitching and zigzag border stitching on the beach side, and it is still in its wartime configuration, with no "Eagle, Globe & Anchor" stampings on either side of the cover. It is displayed here on a fixed loop helmet set (not included) but would also be appropriate for swivel loop helmets.
Provenance
Personal Collection of Steven Caunitz, Owner of Caunitz Military Collectibles
Condition Report
