Opinions on this Schlueter. From vet son. Retired mid 70s, so is this a correct setup for VN era?

 

Thank youa4b790b05ee625712e74e93801f3ae1f.jpg530dca84395a3eaaa58781d4cffc9850.jpg

Yes. Many different combinations of steel and liner were used in Vietnam and if its from the vets Son, theres your proof.

The color of the liner webbing looks strange but it appears to be mid 50's late 50's liner early 60's.

Was an LTC at retirement, could have been a nondescript helmet?
Same family my Bob Hope collection came from.

Thank you

So every component of the helmet (shell, straps, liner) pre-dates Vietnam so it could be. Typically, sewn on straps had been replaced with buckle straps by then, but "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
