T225. SALTY VIETNAM USMC M1 HELMET SET. REAR SEAM, SWIVEL LOOP M1 HELMET SHOWS MUCH RUST. THE CHINSTRAPS HAVE THE EARLY GREEN PAINTED HARDWARE. THE CAMOUFLAGE HBT COVER SHOWS MUCH USE AND WEAR WITH RUST STAINS, HOLES AND TEARS. HAS AN EGA STAMPED ON THE FRONT. THERE ARE NO MARKINGS ON ANY OF THE TONGUES, SO IT IS NOT A BLUE ANCHOR. THE COVER IS BRITTLE, SO I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT OFF TO AVOID MORE DAMAGE. THE LINER IS COMPLETE WITH SWEATBAND AND NAPE STRAP. NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS, I’VE HAD THIS SINCE I WAS YOUNG AND “RESTORED” THE SET AT THE TIME BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD LOOK BETTER. THE WEB CHINSTRAPS WERE ROTTED OFF WITH ONLY THE GREEN MOUNTING CLIPS REMAINING, SO I REPLACED THEM. THE ORIGINAL LINER HAD MOST OF THE INNER WEBBING ROTTED OUT, SO I FOUND A REPLACEMENT LINER. I ALSO ADDED A EUROCLONE LEATHER CHINSTRAP TO COMPLETE THE LOOK. NOW, I REALLY WISH I WOULD HAVE LEFT IT IN ITS ORIGINAL, RELIC CONDITION. LIVE AND LEARN I GUESS. ALL PARTS EXCEPT THE LEATHER CHINSTRAP ARE GUARANTEED ORIGINAL. FREE SHIPPING IN THE U.S.A. CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE. ***SOLD***
