Yup it's military issue for sure. Hence the US on the forehead.

The M is size Medium.

 

It's actually called an ABC-M17 But yeah, M17 for short.

The M17A1 cam our about 6 years later with changes your mask does not have.

 

The last photo you have shows that little circle with writing in it.

The top 2 digits should be the date, hard to see, but is it a 63?

This was designed in the late 50's but you don't see them until the early 60's

I got 2 of them In the group , one Firestone 62 and the other DT 63 so I guess those are the dates ? I guess not much resale value then right ?
