Many thanks, Tonomachi.

Hello everyone, I need your opinion about this Jump Wings. Are they WW2 period? The catch was repaired and inverted. Inset "Sterling" can be seen at the bottom right on the reverse.

Not sure if it's WW2 or post war. The catch was repaired and inverted. Inset "Sterling" can be seen at the bottom right on the reverse.

Impressive!

No.

Thanks, ken88.

DOT rivet

United Carr rivet

I recently acquired the helmet and it comes with leather chinstrap. The green buckle is made of brass and both rivets are United Carr and DOT. Does this chinstrap seem to be a legit wartime or a late war/post war make? Thanks.

Thanks for the great info.

Better picture.

207C

325D

Everything I have read on the net indicates that all M-1s produced during the war were painted dark green however, you see some early shells that are "olive" green. I have two front seam McCords (207C and 325D) that show no sign of being repainted and both have different colors. 207C is brighter, more olive than 325D. So, did they actually paint different shades of OD during the war?
