World War II U.S. M1 steel helmet retaining its original textured corked olive drab finish and desirable early fixed-bale chinstrap loops. The helmet is fitted with a wartime high-pressure liner retaining its original web suspension and khaki web chinstrap. Both the liner suspension and chinstrap are period-marked “P.F.C. Sorensen,” identifying the helmet to a Private First Class. The shell exhibits the classic profile and construction associated with early-war M1 production and remains an attractive named example of the iconic American combat helmet carried throughout the Second World War.

 

Dimensions: 9.5 x 11 x 7 in. high.

 

Pickup & Shipping: Free pickup in Gardnerville, NV. FedEx shipping within the continental U.S.: $49 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Combined shipping available.

Condition

Retains original textured finish with moderate service wear and scattered abrasions. Fixed bales remain intact. Liner retains its original suspension system with expected age-related wear and minor fraying to the webbing. Period ink identification to the suspension and chinstrap remains visible. No significant dents or structural damage observed.
