Not much, but I like 'em.

OK, here's the entire collection... I think. Could have sworn I had a few more swivel bails but can't find 'em anywhere? Enjoy.

Nice set of M1helmets, I like them

This one was bought about 25-30 years ago when the USS Wisconsin or the Iowa was going in for a rehab. Crates of these were sold off. I wish I had bought more of them, but that was when a regular helmet with liner, complete, was only going for about $10-15 and these were IIRC about $35-45ish. That was a lot for a helmet then, even that nice. Front Seam, Swivel bail, Westinhouse Liner. Some of you may think this is a repro/redo, but that stuff wasn't being done back then, so I know for sure this is real, and UN-ISSUED never worn condition. Enjoy!

WoW!!!......thats a time capsule!!!.....mike

Not much? That's a very nice array of complete liners.

Still workin on em. Thanks guys

Great Collection! Love the fiber liners...wish I could afford one

Really,really nice collection there....you are the king of Mint, which is great because your lids,are a brilliant ref point ,for peole like myself,starting out in the Crazy world of M1 collecting....your collection is highly desirable


Ever thought of publishing a book and using your collection as the models??

Thanks Gaz, and no book, enough of them out there now, although I'd be willing to have them photographed for someone else's book.
