Great video mate, before the M1 helmet was adopted, the US used the Kelly's helmet, it is is also called the M1917A2 or the M1917/1924, its slightly bigger than a British Mk2 Helmet, and the quite hard to find
Interesting, cool collection, and very informative. M1 helmets in the US are still quite common, folks are looking for unit markings or Harley or low pressure liners for the most part. I’ve never seen a Chinese knockoff, or repro. Mostly folks want to call any dirty M1 helmet a WW2 issue.
Great video and very informative....coming at a good time for me as I'm getting a supposed vietnam era helmet this week . I haven't really done much to my m1 helmet clones, I re sprayed a belgian one from NATO blue to olive drab, I've an austrian one and a west german m62...whic is an m1 clone....ish....doesn't have the separate liner. Cheers and thanks for posting this video 🙂🙂🙂
So the 2nd Rangers land on Omaha beach and Point du Hoc. I went to Bergstein 4 years ago in the Hurtgen forest where the 2nd Rangers had also fought.
will have to get over there some time

Glad I could help
Nice tin pots....
It looks like a channel board meeting on the next video to release.
Could be will have to send out emails to the board
That's why if I'm looking on evilbay I will look at side profile as any WW2 made helmet has a different look than later 60s era sexpots!🤪
