A scarce early World War 2 helmet and liner that have been together forever, showing use, but complete and in very good condition. This is the M1 pattern US steel helmet with front seam and fixed bales. Both chinstraps are present. The shell is made and marked by McCord Radiator and Manufacturing company of Detroit and bears the lot stamp of 268A indicating August 1942 manufacture. The liner was made by Inland Division of General Motors, in Dayton, whose liners were used in early war helmets: September 1942 to March 1943.

The shell shows only minor rubs to the majority of the body and expected wear and paint loss along the bound rim. The liner shows corresponding wear to its lower edge, with rubs and chips, a short section out over the right ear and one short crack above the left. Please see our photos. The interior webbing and leather are in place and intact, showing just appropriate wear and age.

This is a complete set in matching condition that has been together forever, with both the shell and liner also each having the last four digits of the soldier’s serial number (SN4067) applied by hand.  [sr] [ph:L]
