 M-1 Helmet Complete, Reenactor: VG shell with correct chinstraps. VG+ to EXC condition 80's dated liner (removable suspension) with used nape strap and sweatband (postwar). VG condition Mitchell Cover. The perfect reenacting helmet. The only difference between this helmet and the other listed below is the liner hardware. An 80's era liner suspension has round hardware (removable suspension) as opposed to the A shaped internal washers (fixed suspension) found in a VN era liner. Once the sweatband is in place, it is difficult to see the suspension hardware. Based on this, it is the perfect reenacting helmet for those on a budget, or for those who do not want to tear up a collectible liner. Specify Army Neoprene or USMC "Inner Tube" Band. |
