B24AT6 Posted June 12, 2015 Share #8 Posted June 12, 2015 There is nothing wrong with it, looks like a nice helmet. The watermark also says a lot because I don't think there is a more trustworthy seller than Steve. I have dealt with him on multiple occasions and he is very knowledgeable about M1s (which he almost exclusively deals in) and always provides great customer service.

Bugme Posted June 12, 2015 Share #9 Posted June 12, 2015 This helmet is 100% legit and already on my watch list. B24AT6 said it all, M-1 Helmet Depot is as honest as the day is long and has an impeccable return policy. Steve is also a member here: just-a-good-ole-boy.

Grant G. Posted June 12, 2015 Share #13 Posted June 12, 2015 It is a very nice Navy helmet! The liner looks to be a recent addition though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hink441 Posted June 12, 2015 Share #14 Posted June 12, 2015 Wonder what the star ontop indicates? Never seen that before. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
URIK Posted June 13, 2015 Share #15 Posted June 13, 2015 This is the only photo I have ever come across of a star on top of a helmet. If you look closely above the helmet of the Marine at right, there is at least one more guy with a star on top. U.S. Marines at Bougainville.

hink441 Posted June 13, 2015 Share #16 Posted June 13, 2015 That is a great picture, thanks for posting. Now I have seen one!! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnDuc49 Posted June 13, 2015 Share #17 Posted June 13, 2015 I have no idea, but I guess the star would work as a friendly unit indicator? Like how they have painted stars on the vehicle so friendly aircraft can identify friendly vehicles, so maybe the same concept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill47 Posted June 13, 2015 Share #18 Posted June 13, 2015 I once owned this helmet and it's a beauty. When it first came on the market several years ago the story was that it had belonged to a gunner on a D-Day landing craft, but there was no way to verify that. Still a great helmet.
