U.S. M1 Steel-Pot Helmet

$ COLLECTIBLE ITEM $ 

Vietnam War Era
Code : U.SCH 62/ 63/ 66

The M1 helmet of the 1960' s has a lower profile than the M1 helmets of WW2, otherwise the design was unchanged. The two-part chin strap was typically fastened up around the rear of the helmet. There are many of the Vietnam era helmets to be found. Some things to look out for. The WW2 helmet's rim joins at the front, the Korean and Vietnam helmet rim joins at the rear. The helmet strap should have a little anchor insignia on it. If you are new to reenacting you will find these helmets heavy to wear but you will get used to it.
