Original U.S. WWII - Early Vietnam War McCord M1 Helmet With OD Green Helmet Cover and Westinghouse Liner - Complete

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII McCord M1 Helmet shell which was depot-refinished for use during the Korean War. The helmet is matched with a fine Westinghouse liner. The OD Green helmet cover is an early Vietnam War example and is in lovely condition, this was not an uncommon site to see in Southeast Asia in the early 1960s.

This is a very nice example of a late 1950s issue M1 Helmet as used during the early Vietnam Conflict. The shell has swivel bales and a manganese steel rim with a rear seam. There is a heat lot stamp of 4103. It is fitted with a correct Korean war style chin strap, which uses bent metal brackets to attach to the "bales", and also has a separate connector in the buckle, designed to break if put under excessive strain, preventing injury.

The helmet is complete with Westinghouse liner with the correct stamp on the crown. The liner has had all of the original paint on the exterior, and shows some minor period wear. The interior has clean OD7 Olive Drab HBT Webbing secured by blacked “A”-Washers, which show some oxidation. There is also a liner chinstrap which is intact with crazing.

This is a nice, complete example of a late 1950s or early 1960s M1 helmet shell which may well have seen service during the Vietnam War.

Comes ready for display.
