M-1 ww2 marine corps helmet.? Need help to verify please
Another helmet recently discovered but owned by me for years,
since i joined these forums, i have begun to doubt myself .at age 81 i intend to sell immediately or so on ebay but i will not sell anything that is not correct.
The cover is o.k. I believe because of the wear and tear. The helmet has what seems to my uneducated eye, a little longer peak which may indicate late ww2 production or is it a paratrooper pot?
The liner seems m-1 and is not a paratrooper but the inner interior seems a little odd.
Comments in the recent past have been so helpful especially ade and nick.not to omit the others that have also helped so much. Thank you.
Although i have collected hundreds of items i tend to accept what i am told at militaria shows. Now i realise that there are dealers who will look you in the eye and lie in their teeth. But it has been a lot of fun and i bear no-one ill will.
