*Early war helmet and worn by a soldier with the last name of 'McKinsey' (first name unknown) who served as a soldier with the ranking of Brigadier General during the Vietnam War.
Original Item: Only One Available. The M1 helmet is a combat helmet that was used by the United States military from World War II until 1985, when it was succeeded by the PASGT helmet. For over forty years, the M1 was standard issue for the U.S. military. The M1 helmet has become an icon of the American military, with its design inspiring other militaries around the world.
Vietnam War era M-1 helmet shells have a set of swivel (movable) chinstrap loops called bales and a stainless steel rim. These rims were both rust resistant and had non-magnetic qualities that reduced the chance of error readings when placed around certain sensitive equipment (such as a compass).
The ‘salty’ helmet cover is original and in fair condition with
typical
combat use and wear due to sun staining and other combat uses
