mwesson030 Posted February 14, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 14, 2018 I was thinking of picking up this M1C helmet as the first airborne helmet in my collection, but as I am not that well versed in airborne helmets I would like some other opinions on it.

mwesson030 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted February 14, 2018 Heatstamp - I think the rust matches with the liner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted February 14, 2018 Share #5 Posted February 14, 2018 Looks like a legit 1960s-early 70s M1C to me, named to a LTC is nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manayunkman Posted February 14, 2018 Share #9 Posted February 14, 2018 Is there a link? How much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenchfoot Posted February 14, 2018 Share #10 Posted February 14, 2018 Heres the thread I started after I bought the helmet from here. I thought there would be more information on it in the thread but it was just me asking a question. Since there isn't, I'd be happy to provide more pictures to help prove its authenticity. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/291847-m1c-helmet-question/ EDIT: Here's the eBay link https://www.ebay.com/itm/202227079587?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2648 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1canpara Posted February 14, 2018 Share #11 Posted February 14, 2018 This used to be mine at one point, it's legit and a very nice example early 60's M-1C Kinda wish I still owned it Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
