Question US M1 helmet - original?
Hi Guys - I’m a US helmet "virgin", and reading about them as I write this…but I want to post these pics - it’s so rare to see US helmets in Hungary (where I live), and to tell the truth; I’m not expecting anything good with this one, but who knows…
So according to the seller, this M1 is WW2 (the shell) made by "Schulter" (the "S" marking is there on one of the pics). The liner is "Korean war" era - well, almost…1954 date can be seen, so it was made a year after the war. Looks like it has a missing head-band.
So is he telling the truth, or BS?
(PS: I’m just reading it, that 2 million "Schulter" helmets were made, opposed to 20 million made by "McCord".)
If this one is original - is there any way to get an original head-band for it?
Cheers,
Fabe
