1srelluc Posted March 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2020 I found these two M1Cs at a local flea market this morning....I really don't know squat about M1Cs. Any insight would be appreciated. The first one has a '67 dated suspension, '69 liner, unmarked or faded away nape strap, Y, and chin strap. Chin strap is not the snap-in type and though it's worn almost as much as the rest of the webbing I suspect it is a replacement. No anchor on the clasp. It's named to James G. Coughlin. The second one looks un-issued (pot, webbing, and liner shell) with a '67 suspension and a '71 dated liner. No nape strap. Un-marked Y-straps, chin strap (snap-in type) with anchor, with green painted bail fasteners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 1, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 1, 2020 The second one looks like a very nice example, what's the heat stamp? Early Nam era M1C shells aren't that plentiful these days! It's sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sweet! M339D is the stamp in the "new" looking one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin6 Posted March 1, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 1, 2020 The first one appears not to be an M1C, but a regular helmet with a jump liner. I understand that USMC made use of jump liners in regular shells, so it may just be a USMC helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
