Sabrejet Posted October 18, 2013 Author #101 Posted October 18, 2013 All this talk of Euro Clones, lead me to thing of Latin American Clones, not so much the actual manufacture of steel shells or liners (did some countries of South America indeed make clone M1s?) but rather more parts, liner parts in particular, don't thing we seen this so far cropping up if they did have them. Si senor...Argentina!
Welshman Posted October 18, 2013 #102 Posted October 18, 2013 Only Belgian type that had the suspension riveted to the outer shell was the German made Paratrooper helmet worn by the Belgian Parachute regiment in the 70s and 80s... It could well have been a Paratroop helmet, would have been shallower looking to the one Ian posted, like I said, the seller said it was a Belgium helmet.

Sabrejet Posted October 18, 2013 Author #104 Posted October 18, 2013 Exterior. Note riveted chinstraps.
patches Posted October 18, 2013 #105 Posted October 18, 2013 Ah yes the Argentine ones, a British Vet bring home, or was it found in a Barn near Stanley Do you own this helmet Ian? if so lets see a detailed view of the interior of the liner.
thomasglover Posted January 16, 2014 #106 Posted January 16, 2014 Chinstrap webbing: US-made chinstrap webbing is OG with a white cotton core. It has a different weave from Euro webbing, which does not have a white cotton core and is a different shade of green Hi Sabrejet, this is not always true. Many anchor-marked chinstraps from the Vietnam era have green core webbing and in some cases a mix of both types. T
Sabrejet Posted January 16, 2014 Author #107 Posted January 16, 2014 Feel free to add some illustrated examples of what you describe for future reference.
thomasglover Posted January 16, 2014 #108 Posted January 16, 2014 Here are two sets (one set green-cored, one set white-cored, both anchor stamped and removed from helmets) currently on Ebay as an example and lastly one of mine from home
BOLO Posted September 10, 2014 #109 Posted September 10, 2014 I have a euro clone with some unknown maker mold mark in the crown of the liner, has the letters MIX anybody have any info what country made this liner? it looks just like a US Vietnam War era liner but I think it's a foreign copy.
Lt. Kelly Posted September 11, 2014 #110 Posted September 11, 2014 The straps on the shell look like the Dutch model. The Dutch however did not produce that kind of liner. They used the webbing with draw string crown till the 80s.
alberto1361 Posted October 2, 2015 #111 Posted October 2, 2015 Voila monsieur! Look familiar? Obviously, its shape follows the contours of the French shell, but its interior is pure M1. In my opinion the liner is pure french. The first and the second images are from the shell, the last one from the liner of the same manufacturer: HR
Sabrejet Posted October 2, 2015 Author #112 Posted October 2, 2015 In my opinion the liner is pure french.

alberto1361 Posted October 2, 2015 #113 Posted October 2, 2015 Yes...I know that Alberto....I meant that at a glance its interior is just like that of an M1 liner....from which it is copied. Ah, ok! ☺

kai robert Posted April 4, 2016 #120 Posted April 4, 2016 Has anyone seen these liners used in anything other than German helmets? Yes, in the swedish m/37 helmet. Only for a short time, as a test helmet.
earlymb Posted April 4, 2016 #121 Posted April 4, 2016 I read "76 A" Sorry, I missed your post till now. At first I thought it could be Dutch, but that heat number looks like it could be a US pot (possibly used by another country though)?
kai robert Posted April 5, 2016 #122 Posted April 5, 2016 Sorry, I missed your post till now. At first I thought it could be Dutch, but that heat number looks like it could be a US pot (possibly used by another country though)? The 76 A indicates a front seam, fixed bail helmet but this helmet is a swivel, rear seam with a non stainless steel rim. Riveted chin straps aren´t US (or?).
denfly Posted December 24, 2016 #123 Posted December 24, 2016 The 76 A indicates a front seam, fixed bail helmet but this helmet is a swivel, rear seam with a non stainless steel rim. Riveted chin straps aren´t US (or?). It's possible one or two numbers did not appear when manufactured. This has happened often. Near the "u" where someone marked appears to be a faint number one.
easterneagle87 Posted April 29, 2019 #124 Posted April 29, 2019 Just had this one ID'd, Swivel bail at the rear and heat stamped as an Isreali model.
easterneagle87 Posted April 29, 2019 #125 Posted April 29, 2019 Heat stamp, 1973 Israeli helmet. The character in the circle stands for Zahal, or the Israeli army.
