Just another collector Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I found this nice late ww2 M1 helmet in an antique shop. Believe it or not I actually bought it for 38$. Its in good shape except for the leather strap which has ripped and the someone painted it a weird shade of green. The shell looks like it could be maybe a McCord and the liner was made by seaman paper co. Link to post Share on other sites

11/17thark Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I sold it as is, with a broken liner for 50.00. Mine appeared to have a emblem, painted under the second layer of paint. Possibly a Sgt or petty officer rank, I wondered if it wasn' t navy. Link to post Share on other sites
