Lot consists of: (A) World War II US M1 Front Seam Fixed Bale Helmet with painted "II" on the front. Helmet has heat stamp "615A" on the interior of the shell denoting a McCord contract shell. Liner is marked with the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company "F" stamp. CONDITION: Helmet shell still retains most of its original paint but displays blemishes from service wear.
