excellent! they did start production of the low dome helmets in 1951. im not sure when they made it to korea, probably pretty late. i do have pics of T1 clips being used in korea, but like T-1 chinstrap buckles during ww2, it was very late in the war when they were used. sew them chinstraps on lol. how to do a good bar tack by hand. when you start sew a line horizontally across the chinstrap where you want the bar tack to be. you can even sew a 2nd line back to the starting point if you want. then just repeatedly circle the line with vertical stitching until you get to the end. easy peazy!
oh i forgot fun fact, one of the 1st prototypes for the m1 was made by cutting off the side and rear brims of an m1917 and welding straight edge pieces and cutting them to shape. you can see the m1917 pedigree in an m1 if you hold them sideways side by side and overlay the profile of one of the other. the m1 has the exact same geometry of the curve of the front brim and crown of the m1917.
Hello they lowered the shell during Korea in an attempt to make the helmet more lower profile. To my knowledge they did not make it to the Korean war. P

Never heard the shape was changed on the steel helmet. McCord and Schlueter did differ a bit, though. Sure the last one isn't a euroclone?
