So I picked up another early McCord Fixed bail with this one being painted to a Lt. but this one has a complete heatstamp number of 183A unlike my earlier one with the partial number that turns out to be later.  Came without a liner and with the chinstrap in tatters as well as tied in a knot but I was able to get it untied and fixed around the back of the shell as it was so ragged it actually fit.  Front Seam with a stainless steel rim and the chinstrap color basically the white threads inside it. My chart shows it as being late 1941 but perhaps I'm wrong on this one too as I thought my last one was early too.  Came with a torn up 1943 Canteen Cover with a 1918 Dated LF&C canteen in it as shown in the last two pictures from the same estate with a last name of Larrabee out of Walpole, MA and/or Milford, NH but so far no luck IDing it yet.
