Hi all, I have some questions regarding early post war/early Nam M1C helmets, I searched the web and some books but I can`t find goo info.

So my questions are:

1- Were during korean war M1C helmet factory made or only rigger versions.?

2- The green cotton riddle liner factory made M1C liners, some say were korean made and some say are only early vietnam war, what is the real period frame for those?

3- what period are the M1C liners factory made with ww2 liners but wire buckles, I mean no wartime st clair / westinghouse / inland/ hawley , I mean liners ww2 made but with A strap and wire buckles, msa/firestone/ westinghouse. Early postwar or simple fakes?

Thanks in advance!!

Pictures below.

Cheers

I'm not the person to answer all those questions, but in the last photo from Stewart's, if the liner has a grommet on the front it could be Korean era, no grommet means it's post-1955 (P55).
