The M-1s AAF Cousin

[37thguy]

Picked this up last week and it just arrived today. Gotta say it is about perfect. It's never been on a head I think. Flocking is about 99% and interior with leather straps can't be improved upon.

 

Now to find an M-3 this nice?!

 

Enjoy,

Very nice indeed. My M-3 still had the instruction sheet under the webbing!

They don't come much better than that! I have an M3 in similar shape which also came with an instruction leaflet tucked under its web suspension, as mentioned above by Dave.

Very nice example! I would like to find one this nice!

 

Did the use of the flak helmets continue during the Korean War? Would B-26 or B-29 crewman still be wearing them?
