    Good video. I was the quality control person for the 1968 & 1969 Vietnam era M-1 helmets (#6521) made by Dana Corporation at their Trenton, Michigan, factory. When I worked there both the materials and the manufacturing process were classified. From what I understand that info is now in the public domain. I can explain why some helmets that should have a back seam, have a front seam, and vice versa. I can also explain why the heat number can be anywhere on the helmet, inside or out.

The inside has it's original ww2 paint and a name. The helmet is converted to swivel bails. The liner was made in late 1944 and has a ww2 name and Korean war paint/decal.

    In 1969 and 1970 I was THE (yep, there was only one.)
    quality control person for the M-1, 6521 Dana Corporation manufactured army
    helmet. The Federal government thought the less people involved in this TOP
    SECRET project the better. My first day on the job I had to sign a Federal
    government non-disclosure form. That form has never been rescinded so I really
    don’t know if I’m still bound by any of it today. I can say with confidence that
    there are secrets still today about the helmet that the general public knows
    nothing about. When I worked on the helmet
    project at Dana I always carried a set of blue prints for the helmet. Each page
    was rubber stamped TOP SECRET. I also was one of the few people who knew the
    formula for the alloy. There are secrets about those helmets (especially about
    the alloy) that if I were to tell you, you would say that I must be making it
    up. So now 50 years later I’m still hesitant to disclose everything I know
    about the M-1 Vietnam era helmet.

    I'm sure I don't' know what I'm talking about, but I always thought there was a shape difference between WWII and Vietnam helmets. WWII era helmet (to me) seem to have a higher and more rounded '"forehead." If that makes sense. Going backwards from the front rim, the WWII version had a steeper front, while the Vietnam helmet was more sloped to the rear. Just the way it looked to my eye. I wore the helmet during Vietnam, and never heard it called the M1... it was just a "steel pot" or just "pot." Most draftees wouldn't know what an "M1" referred too, unless the Garand. I would have never thought people would one day pay so much attention to the trivia of a steel pot.

      Not sure. So the helmet is a rear seam? The heat stamp on Vietnam era helmets could be just about anywhere inside the helmet. It could even be upside down. I usually use a magnifying glass and a small LED flashlight to see heat stamps. You could also use the pencil and paper trick, or use a piece of chalk and go over the heat stamp area.

    @chaowingchinghongfingshong3109 4 года назад +2

    Hello man, really enjoyed the video. U got my sub.
    I have a question tho:
    From what time is my M1 helmet? Its back seam and the stamp says either "M46D" or "1146D", but without a space in between the M and the number?
    (If its an M, then the line in the middle got scratched or sth)
    The printed stamp in the webbing is barely readable, but probably says 1951/1963 (?)
    Ive gotten my hands on this particular M1 helmet, that had been laying around in a barn in southern Germany for decades now.
    Full helmet, including outher shell and inner one. Chinstraps made of leather broke after just touching them.
    Greetings from Germany :)
    Edit: Whats also interesting, is that the paint at the front is scratched off and there are two vertical welding points there, so something was welded on there, what could it be?

    • @JonBoyMilitaria
      @JonBoyMilitaria  4 года назад +1

      The 2 vertical welds were probably where captain bars where. If the heat stamp does start with the letter M then it was made in 1951 by McCord.

      The M1 helmets started being produced in 1941. They started out with a front seam and fixed bales. In October 1943 the bales were switched to swivels and then around October 1944 the seam was moved to the rear. The M1s in this video are the post World War 2 ones. In this video, I am going over how to determine what era the M1 was produced and also showing examples of the companies that produced them as well. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching.

    as a McCord produced in 1945, the swivel bales are spot welded right up against the helmets rim which is also consistent with WW2 however the helmet is finished in light green with a sand textured finish. I’ve inspected the helmet closely and there is no evidence to suggest it’s been repainted.

      Millguy42 Honestly man, I don't know for sure but since it's a high heat stamp, I would guess 1952...

    M-137-a so the 137 heat stamped helmet ?

    Good stuff, I have a question. Not sure what you were saying about the Korea McCord helmets being repurposed. Were Korea helmets used in Vietnam? I have a McCord helmet with the rear seam, not stainless steel, I'm trying to date it but there is so much confusing information everywhere. I looked on a sight Top Pots which had the following info; " In October 1944 the rim material changed from stainless to the same steel that the helmets were made from (Hadfield Maganese). Evidently, for some unknown reason, at the same time, the weld seam of the rim also migrated to the rear. The total production of WWII M-1 helmet shells reached over 22,000,000 by August 1945. M-1 helmet production ceased just days after the war ended. Noted: M-1 helmet shell production would not begin again until March 1951 because of the Korean War". You appear to have real good knowledge on the subject, can you help me?

      If you can locate the heat stamp that would be good. There is a chance that your helmet was made in late 1944 - 1945. But If the heat stamp starts with the letter M or starts with an MW then it was made in 1951. But Ww2 helmets, gear, weapons, supplies etc were used in Korea and Vietnam also just like a lot of left over WW1 stuff was used at the beginning of WW2.

      @@JonBoyMilitaria The heat stamp is M 310, or the zero is a nine but I'm 97% sure it is a zero. It's interesting cause there are two names on the helmet, one with extremely old large masking tape, and another name x2 one inside in faded pin and again outside scratched in. I have what I think is a mid 60's liner and a 76 cover.

      @@BackPackFilmsFl The helmet itself is definitely a Model 1951 McCord. Sounds like it was issued to at least 2 different soldiers. Maybe one during the Korean War and one during the Vietnam War.

    I have an m1 helmet that is just stamped 700. What does that mean? Do you think it's parish, because it's just the number 700? Or maybe mine is RJ stamping, because I do see some tape residue. Anyway great video, very informative
