I purchased another M1 helmet today, it came with a Westinghouse liner with steel A Washers and steel liner chinstrap studs , OD3 triple weave HBT, an OD7 adjustable double weave HBT nape strap with a green brass buckle and black coloured brass studs and a OD7 sweatband.

I can just about make out The word Steel and the letters DSA on the sweatband.

The outer shell appears to be a late WW2 rear seam, cork finish with swivel bales however there is no heat stamp visible due to very very minor corrosion inside the shell. The chinstraps are not original and there two different types fitted which I think are non reproduction. The clasp on one side is black coated steel while the buckle on the other side is brass with one side black and the other side with what appears to have some green paint on it.

So here’s some areas where I would require some help:

I think the shell is McCord what do you think?

I think the sweatband is 60’s issue due to the markings and the weave which is not HBT it is marked with the following name J Vega and number 1814185. No luck tracing what appears to be a service number, anybody have any information or ideas about it?

What about the chinstrap clasp and buckle?

Pictures attached, new to the game so opinions appreciated.
