This is an original WWII U.S. front seam Schlueter manufactured M1 helmet shell. The heat stamp of 92A dates the helmet's production to 1943. Evidence of re-welding at the loops, in combination with the relatively early heat stamp, indicates this helmet likely left the factory as a fixed loop before undergoing a depot refurbishment. Inscribed in its interior is the identification of its original owner, an apparent "Withington". It retains an original field repaint, cork texture, and an OD#3 (khaki) chinstrap. The chinstrap features brass hardware. This helmet would pair very nicely with a high pressure helmet liner with green-painted steel A-washers.
