ChrisG43 Posted November 18, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2022 I've had this forever, and have a friend who is interested in it. But, I have no idea as to what it's value is, or if it's even that rare of a helmet.....any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated, thanks, Chris...

elh1311 Posted November 18, 2022 Share #3 Posted November 18, 2022 Does it have standard chinstraps or paratrooper chinstraps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG43 Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted November 20, 2022 Here's pics of the chinstraps, liner isn't correct to the helmet, I put them together, but the WW2 liner has a separate history, actually had it when I was a kid back around 1980....

elh1311 Posted November 20, 2022 Share #6 Posted November 20, 2022 Looks like a late WWII factory produced M1C, a front seam at that. Plus, it's named and that serial number pre-dates Korea. I'd say it's fairly uncommon and therefore rather valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
