Ments66 Posted February 5, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2022 I just purchased my first M1 helmet, and was looking for an ID on it, and the liner. The stamping I found on the shell appears to be "515A" Also it is OD, though looks lime from the flash. It's also a front seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rooster Posted February 5, 2022 Share #3 Posted February 5, 2022 From the crimp mark on the rim opposite the bail, it looks like it was a fixed bail at one time. All the fixed bails had a crimp mark on the rim opposite the bails. Is the rim Stainless under the green paint? With the paint and the clip on straps, it looks like it was used through the 1980's. The liner too. Late 70's early 80's. Clip in webbing and thick plastic. The orange inside late liners were much thicker than the earlier models. Better pictures would help also some shots inside the steel and up front near the rim would help. Nice one. Thanks for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
