T164. VIETNAM M1 HELMET WITH M1C PARATROOPER LINER. REAR SEAM, SWIVEL LOOP HELMET APPEARS TO HAVE GOOD ORIGINAL PAINT. THE COVER HAS NOT BEEN OFF THE HELMET IN A LONG TIME. THE STANDARD INFANTRY CHINSTRAP HAS A PARTIAL TEAR ON THE LONG SIDE BY THE ADJUSTMENT SLIDE AND THE SHORT SIDE HAS A PARTIAL TEAR WHERE THE HOOK WOULD USUALLY MOUNT. THE HOOK WAS MOVED TO THE END OF THE STRAP. THE BALLISTIC NYLON LINER IS 1965 DATED AND HAS A PERIOD REPAINT. RETAINS THE AIRBORNE “A” FRAMES THAT ARE TUCKED UP INSIDE THE WEBBING AND HAS BOTH FEMALE SNAPS. THE DOME OF THE LINER HAS RAISED CHARACTERS “D-3593-GB-6” WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE FIRST MARMAC STAMP USED WHEN THESE BALLISTIC NYLON LINERS WERE INITIALLY PRODUCED. GOOD 1968 DATED LEATHER SWEATBAND. THE CAMOUFLAGE COVER IS 1969 DATED WITH RUST STAINING. THIS SET HAS BEEN TOGETHER A LONG TIME. GUARANTEED ORIGINAL. FREE SHIPPING IN THE U.S.A. CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE. ***SOLD***
