M1 Front seam swivel bale - Vet signed
Hey guys,
I don’t usually collect US militaria but I decided to take a chance on this WW2 M1 front seam swivel bale. It is a former movie prop so the shell is original but the paint and decals are post war. What attracted me to this helmet was the vetran signatures. I can only make out two. Fred Bahlau and Jake McNiece. I have no way of telling if they are original, but I thought it was worth a chance! At worst I have a nice WW2 M1 shell.
Sorry about the photo quality, its quite difficult to get a clear photo of the signatures
Let me know what you think! cool militaria
