Helmet Date, and any other info. (Update with pics
Hello, Everybody, I have this helmet I recently bought, and I am trying to figure out whatever I can about it. Like Date of manufacture, or issue, possible branch? Thanks in Advance.
That should be better, I think it is a US M1, but that is about all I know
Thanks for all of the great information. Would it be worth putting on the auction side? I am not looking to get rich off of it, but I do not want to waste time either.

Your helmet is Korean war to Vietnam vintage. It's missing the chin strap.
The steel pot is dented on top and sorry to say they are not very collectable.
The whole set up is valued at $50 to 75.00
If it was a WWII complete helmet in fairly good condition, the value
would be $250-350, and highly collectable.0 -
WWII would have the seam in the front 0 -
The cover is a 1974 contract Mitchell pattern.........The liner is a 1983 contract..... 0 -
M1 pot. It's a post-WW2, which was made of manganese steel and will stop service 9mm's. The chin strap is the ball-and-hook type, which will allow the helmet to break away if it is grabbed by someone while on your head. 0 -
not really into military gear but I have a helmet & liner [no cloth cover, sweat band or liner chin strap]. Helmet has the seam on the front edging...liner has tan webbing inside Was told it was WW2......
also have a eagle snap ammo belt. was told this was WW1 vintage....
My dad picked these up 4 me at a military surplus store, so I could play army in the late 50s....0 -
