WWII US M1 Front Seam Fixed Bale Combat Helmet 

This is a simply stunning WWII M1 Front Seam Fixed Bale American helmet.   The McCord steel shell retains close to 100%  of the original WWII dark green (cork) rough texture factory paint.   The steel shell is front seam, fixed bale and retains the machine sewn OD green straps with brass fittings.   The steel shell has a heat stamp number in the front inside brim of "262A" indicating manufacture of August 1942.  The liner shell is an uncommon Inland manufactured piece 1942-43.    The Inland Corporation manufactured liners from 1941 to mid 1943.   The correct Inland Trademark is stamped in the liner shell along with a "2".   The liner interior retains all the original khaki WWII vintage netting, nape, and leather sweatband.   The helmet does not have any naming, with the exception of the initials "CKW" in the sweatband.   The liner is appear to be in un-issued perfect condition.   The steel shell & the liner shell both have a Silver stenciled Lt. Colonel rank insignia.   The only question I have about the entire piece is when the Lt. Col. insignia was applied.   The insignia is in perfect condition on both pieces, but the helmet is also in perfect condition.  It is entirely possible that the insignia were applied during the WWII or could have easily been post war applied.   Overall, this is easily one of the best condition US M1 WWII helmets on the planet!  As with all my helmets, this M1 US helmet comes with my Certificate of Authenticity and Lifetime Guarantee.

SHIPPING 

Items will be shipped after the check clears for items paid with personal checks. 

Shipping will be handled on a quote basis.  Generally we use UPS for domestic as the tracking is superior and the service very reliable.  We can  offer FedEx & USPS shipping as well.   

International shipping is also on a quote by quote basis.  I will ship to any country that shipping is available.   Be advised that if you are in a banned country, the risk for customs seizure is yours.  For International shipments I recommend using USPS Express International Mail as it can be tracked.  EMS is more expensive, however less services with the US Postal Service put you at risk for loss as the tracking capabilities are limited.  For the safest and best tracking as well as the fastest transit time, I recommend United Parcel Service, International Door to Door Service.  For shipments with low value declared without proper insurance, WW2GermanHelmets.com cannot accept liability for loss or damage.
