Pretty cool. Looks to be post-Vietnam. Would you mind posting or sharing a picture of the steel pot?

The cover is definitely post Vietnam. That liner type was rolled out in the late 1960s and had some minor tweaking until we switched the the PASGT in the 1980s.

The helmet I'm curious about. If you could take pictures of the bale swivels (where the chinstrap attaches) and look for any numbers on the inside I could give you a better idea of when it was made. A lot of WWII helmets were refurbished and used all the way up through the 1980s.

No numbers at all on the steel pot, inside or out.

There is only one bale swivel and it looks like this:



There are three of these guys on the liner:

All signs point to Post Vietnam. The shell was most likely made in the late 60's or early 70's during the last production run of M1 helmets.

The liner is definitely late Vietnam, possibly post 1975 (there may be more markings on the liner that could give a more accurate date.)

The three attachments on the liner connect to a neckband that replaced the well known "Nape Strap" of WWII and Korea. Original neckband replacements can be found for as little as $5.

Overall it appears to be a decent example of a late 70s/early 80s M1 helmet. The USMC emblem adds to the cool factor.

I'm primarily interested in WWII (and prior) militaria. But you have a cool piece of history at a fair price so I hope it sells quickly!
