Sabrejet Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share #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.

Welshman Posted October 18, 2013 Share #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.

thomasglover Posted January 16, 2014 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt. Kelly Posted September 11, 2014 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberto1361 Posted October 2, 2015 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kai robert Posted April 4, 2016 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymb Posted April 4, 2016 Share #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)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share #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 Share #125 Posted April 29, 2019 Heat stamp, 1973 Israeli helmet. The character in the circle stands for Zahal, or the Israeli army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
