This original WWII U.S. McCord manufactured fixed loop M1 helmet shell is in good condition. The heat stamp of 591E dates its production to July 1943. It retains its original olive drab factory paint, cork texture, and khaki chinstrap. The chinstrap features a flat brass buckle. The J-hook has been removed - possibly to allow for the chinstrap's fastening at the rear of the helmet. This helmet would pair very nicely with a high pressure helmet liner with green painted steel A-washers.
