corsair Posted May 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2020 Recently found an M1 helmet at the local flea market and trying to get a good id on it. I think it is WW2 made but looking for anyone who can date it. Its a front seam, seems to be cork finish (although its been repainted long ago with a brush), swivel loops, sewn on straps, and a heat press number of 911C. I'm thinking a 1943-? McCord?

corsair Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted May 18, 2020 Hard to get a clear shot of the heat stamp but it reads 911C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rooster Posted May 19, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 19, 2020 this is what I use to date ww2 M1 helmets. http://ghost.treaders.free.fr/identification_casque.php enter your heat number and you'll get a rough date of manufature. I get May of 1944. As far as the brand... are the weld crimps at the front seam circles or ovals? Ovals indicate McCord while circle crimp welds indicate Schluter manufacture.
