I just acquired an M1 helmet from the Vietnam era, heat stamp #604, short numbers stamp. it has a stainless rim and was wondering how often were these installed on helmets. I thought only WW2 models had stainless rims. It’s shiny and the paint doesn’t stay on like the WW2 models. I believe I saw another one on ebay recently.

I just picked up this Cold War minty boxed specimen. A lovely unfired Beretta in 9 corto/.380. It still retains the original nylon bore brush and manual.

My grandfather recently passed away and upon opening his storage unit we found tons of war relics from his time in WW2.

One of the items we found was this helmet (attached) Can anyone tell me anything about it?

It’s has the nazi symbol on the left side only, someone’s name in the leather part some dark stains in the head piece and other numbers. Would love to know more info, and if it has any value?Thanks!

I’ve tried to id this metal box without too much success. I thought maybe a land mine container, but don’t think so as there’s no rim lines in the box. Thanks for looking and I appreciate any help. I attached the felt pads to the bottom to prevent scratching.
