WW2 U.S. M1 HELMET FIXED BAIL HAS ORIGINAL LINER LEATHER CHINSTRAP AND NETTING:
$500.00
I WILL NOT SHIP OVERSEAS! I WILL NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I PURCHASED THIS HELMET. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO IT IN MY OWNERSHIP OF IT.
THIS IS A WW2 U.S. M1 HELMET.
THIS M1 HELMET IS AN EARLY EXAMPLE, KNOWN AS A FIXED BAIL.
FIXED BAIL M1 HELMETS WERE THE FIRST MADE STEEL POTS AND WERE USED THRUOUT THE ENTIRE WAR.
THESE HELMETS WERE STOPPED BEING MANUFACTURED IN 1943.
I CAN'T READ THE HEAT STAMP ON THE STEEL, I HAVE TAKEN A PHOTOGRAPH OF WHAT I BELIEVE IS IT. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS TO SEE THIS.
IT STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL KNVAS CHINSTRAPS. THE METAL ON THE CHINSTRAPS IS BRASS, AND THE BRASS DOES HAVE SOME CORROSION. THE CHINSTRAP IS IN TOUGH SHAPE, PLEASE SEE PHOTOS TO SEE ALL OF THIS.
THERE IS A STRESS CRACK INSIDE OF THE STEEL POT, FACING TOWARD THE FRONT RIM OF THE HELMET. PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTOS TO SEE THIS.
THIS IS A FRONT SEAM M1 HELMET, AS ALL FIXED BAIL M1 HELMETS WERE.
THE PAINT IS ORIGINAL ON THE STEEL POT SHELL BOTH OUTSIDE AND INSIDE, AND DOES HAVE PAINT LOSS. THERE IS MAJOR PAINT LOSS ON THE VERY CROWN OF THE SHELL, PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTOS TO SEE THIS.
THE NETTING CAME ON THE HELMET WHEN I PURCHASED IT, I DIDN'T ADD IT. IT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL, IT SMELLS REAL ( THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT I MEAN). PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS TO SEE THE NETTING.
THE LINER HAS BEEN REPAINTED FROM ITS ORIGINAL OLIVE DRAB PAINT, HAS THE CORRECT EYELET HOLE IN THE FRONT OF THE LINER FACE. PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTOS TO SEE THIS.
THIS LINER WAS MANUFACTURED BY FIRESTONE (THE TIRE COMPANY), AND HAS THE FIRESTONE LOGO IN THE VERY INSIDE CROWN OF THE LINER. PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTOS TO SEE THIS.
IT HAS THE MID TO LATE WAR BLACK PAINT "A" FRAMES. PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTOS TO SEE THIS.
THE SIX POINTED WEBBING SUSPENSION HAS COME UNRIVETED IN THE REAR SECTION OF THE INSIDE OF THE LINER. SHAME, BUT THATS HOW I PURCHASED IT.
THE ADJUSTING NAPE STRAP IN THE BACK OF THE LINER SUSPENSION IS ORIGINAL AND DOES STILL RETAIN SOME OF THE ORIGINAL WRITING ON THE INSIDE OF IT. ITS PRETTY FADED, PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTOS TO SEE THIS.
THE LEATHER LINER SWEATBAND IS ORIGINAL, AND APPEARS TO HAVE A NAME WRITTEN ON IT, PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS TO SEE THIS.
THE LINER LEATHER CHINSTRAP IS ORIGINAL AND INTACT!!!! ITS ALSO A GREEN BUCKLE VERSION, AND IS 100% ORIGINAL. PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTOS TO SEE THIS.
THERE IS ALSO A MARKING ON THE WEBBING SUSPENSION OF A "VF", I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MARKING MEANS. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS TO SEE THIS MARKING.
THERE IS ALOT HERE TO NOT JUST READ, BUT TO LOOK AT WITH THIS HELMET. IF YOU DESIRE TO SEE MORE PHOTOS OF SPECIFIC THINGS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT.
THIS ENTIRE HELMET IS HOW I PURCHASED IT AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THIS ENTIRE HELMET IN MY OWNERSHIP OF IT.
I DON'T SHIP OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND WILL NOT SHIP OVERSEAS.
