This original early-WWII U.S. M1 helmet set is in combat-used condition. The McCord manufactured front seam fixed loop helmet's heat stamp is unfortunately concealed beneath surface rust, however judging by the remaining later style fixed loop, it was likely produced sometime between mid-1942 and late-1943. The helmet retains its original factory paint and cork texture. It has recently been paired with an equally used Inland manufactured liner. The liner's original olive drab factory paint finish is in good condition. It features non-painted steel A-washers, a transitional OD#3 (khaki) suspension, and folded ends on the neck support. These early features date the liner's production from mid-1942 to mid-1943. Like the liner itself, its original 'double wire' headband, neckband, and flat-buckled leather liner strap all exhibit signs of damage.
