USMC-RECON0321 Posted December 10, 2020 Share #26 Posted December 10, 2020 Is this the same seller from the first attempt to sell it? And is this the same person you sold the liner to? It looks like the same pictures used in the original eBay listing posted above. His updated description: WW2 M1 Fixed bail rear seam With Hawley Liner, complete. This is a beautiful named fixed bail with Hawley liner. Original liner chinstrap is an early green buckle United Carr. Headband is the correct early wire buckle type. Nap strap is a rare CSC maker. All components are original to this helmet. McCord manufactured fixed bail, heat stamped 312C indicating an appropriate manufacture date of September 1942. Original paint is cork impregnated and 99%. Just an awesome looking early combat used setup that has become extremely hard to come by. Please contact me with questions or more pictures. Absolutely no shipping outside of the United States. Please check out my other auctions for more nice helmets. Thank you for looking. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail fully insured. On Dec-09-20 at 13:24:53 PST, seller added the following information: Please take into account that I have received a message from someone who seems honest and adamant with 100% feedback saying he owned the liner some years ago and it wasn’t with this shell. I am not going to stop the auction. Please bid accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are from the last auction and some are new but taken from the same location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprprops Posted December 25, 2020 Share #28 Posted December 25, 2020 I can confirm this is a BS put together as I remember when this liner was for sale a while back on its own and no laundry number in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant G. Posted December 25, 2020 Share #29 Posted December 25, 2020 I'm sorry, I just noticed the link I shared a while back became ineffective when I launched my new website. Here's how the Hawley liner appeared before the fake laundry number was added to the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I couldn't say for certain. This was an eBay purchase from maybe four years ago. Since then, hundreds if not thousands of helmets have passed through my hands. I can say for certain though, it did not come with that shell, nor the laundry number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant G. Posted December 26, 2020 Share #33 Posted December 26, 2020 I just checked my order history. I sold this to a collector based in Staten Island, New York on March 21, 2017, shipped it the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
644td Posted December 26, 2020 Share #34 Posted December 26, 2020 With all honesty, it’s things like this that have started me on the path over the past few years to sell all of my collection. I know I’ve added items but I’ve sold a lot of things that 10 years ago I wouldn’t have entertained any offers. marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pararaftanr2 Posted December 26, 2020 Share #35 Posted December 26, 2020 The latest ebay listing you posted shows it being located in Oklahoma, so the seller is probably not the collector you sold it to in Staten Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staten Island? Maybe this was sold to Screamingeagle101 (forgot his name, Dominique maybe? ) and he added the laundry number and shell? That wouldn't be a surprise.

I don't want to dox the buyer, but I can confirm the name on the shipping address was not Dominick Consolazio (spelling?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
