I know this is an old topic, but I just picked up an EGA frogskin cover on a fixed bail helmet and the helmet chin strap was fastened in the back like this one. I thought that Marines did not typically follow this method of chinstrap fastening.

It was not the Marine Corps fashion to fix the chin straps behind their helmets. They either had the straps fastened or hanging generally, funny whenever I see a helmet for sale that is USMC with the straps fastened behind I think the person selling it was in the Army or watched to many movies,,Ha
