polihelmet Posted April 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2020 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 POLI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattS Posted April 1, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2020 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).
