Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:224783 | Modified Item: No |
| Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL U.S. M1 HELMET, LINER AND EARLY VIETNAM WAR PATTERN MITCHELL CAMO COVER. IT IS IN ROUGH CONDITION...THIS IS HOW I RECEIVED IT SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
THE STEEL POT HAS SOME ORIGINAL PAINT AND LOTS OF RUST. THE CHIN STRAPS ARE VERY USED AND MISSING THE CONNECTORS. IT IS A REAR SEAM HELMET.
THE LINER HAS IT'S ORIGINAL PAINT (EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE SOME SORT OF CAMO). IT HAS RUST TOO, AND THE WEBBING IS WORN AND TORN. THE L...INER HAS "US 74" STAMPED INTO THE INSIDE CROWN OF THE LINER, MADE LATE VIETNAM WAR PERIOD.
THE EARLY COTTON TWILL MITCHELL CAMO COVER HAS A LARGE HOLE BURNED AREA ON TOP. THIS EARLY COVER HAS STITCHING LIKE WWII USMC COVERS. THE BROWN SIDE HAS THE "SHARK TEETH" PATTERN, AND THE GREEN SIDE HAS THE PROPER STITCH TYPE MADE WITH A SERGER MACHINE IN THE SIXITIES AT THE FACTORY. THIS COVER DOES NOT HAVE SLITS CUT ON EACH SIDE FOR THE HELMET CHIN STRAPS TO PASS THROUGH...THAT'S ODD? LATER MODELS WERE MADE WHERE THE FLAPS COULD BE TUCKED INSIDE WITHOUT CUTTING THE SLITS.
IT IS ROUGH, BUT IT COULD BE A RESTORATION PROJECT FOR THE RIGHT PERSON.
SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S.A. WILL BE $19.95 INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING WILL COST MORE, MESSAGE ME TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO SEND TO YOU BEFORE YOU BUY IT. THANKS!
