HoovieDude Posted December 3, 2022 Share #3 Posted December 3, 2022 It appears to be a “real” US WW2 produced helmet, with the “post war” clip on chin straps. But the liner is most definitely a post war “Euroclone”. Perhaps Belgian or Dutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Hazard Posted December 3, 2022 Share #4 Posted December 3, 2022 Both Helmet and liner are post-war Euro Clones unfortunately. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Unless the Euroclones were produced with stainless steel brims, it is a US WW2 produced lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Euro clones did have stainless steel rim, but these rims are much thinner than US produced helmet. From the top angle, the rim on that M1 looks really thin, which makes me believe it is an Euro Clone M1. If OP has better pictures of the shell then better conclusions can be drawn. https://jmurrayinc1944.com/products/m1-helmet-dutch-used-original Pics of post-war Norwegian M1 helmet clone from J Murray Site, note the stainless rim.
