USMC WW1 and WW2 Helmets "Steel Pots"
At the start of the Second World War, a variation of WW1 Kelley helmets were still used. As the war escalated, the new M1 "steel pot" helmet and liner was issued. The Marines in battle were recognized and distinguishable by the reversible frog skin camouflage helmet covers they wore.
The M1 "steel pot" helmets were of better design than the WW1 Kelley helmets. The M1 helmet offered more protection for its wearer. The M1 helmets were designed to protect the soldier or Marines' head from incoming shrapnel or debris. They were not made to be bullet proof. Helmets of the past such as the M1 helmet and those of today are not meant to be bullet proof, but only provide necessary protection to the head of its wearer.

Fun fact the 3rd helmet is still in use to this day in the usmc.
But only with PMIs (Primary Marksmanship Instructors) working in either Parris Island or San Diego teaching recruits how to shoot.
Riceball01 it’s used by marksmanship coaches. the campaign cover (ones worn by drill instructors) are worn by PMI’s and combat marksmanship trainers (CMT)
@Wombato surplus yea
Wich one
Whoever is filming seems like the most bored person ever. I think the word "Meh" was invented for him.
That makes a lot of sense
My helmet(s), 1964-1970, were identical to WWII; they were manufactured during WWII (as was my Garand, ammo, web gear, canteen, etc. (even some of the rations - but newer rations were Korean War vintage; we didn't get "B" rations until late 1960s); the the helmet liner was a better grade than WWII I was told by my nco(s); I think my head band(s) was better grade, but maybe just because they were newer. The netting was the same. The elastic strap for "vegetation" was new and used primarily for bug juice, cigarettes, micellaneous - even band-aids. FTS!
missing that sick old Pickelhaube-pith helmet mix the Corps had.
Your USMC content is incredible! Thank you for this, helpful for the re-enacting types I'm sure but as an amateur historian, this is high quality content for me to compare details and analyze advantages/disadvantages and just plain differences. This whole series, canteens, tent shelters, is excellent. Thanks for all of it.
im a 12 year old who apreeceates stuff like this
You guys should do another video of Marine Corps canteens and covers!
The liner with the S means it was made by Seaman Paper CO. I hope that helps anyone wondering
Thanks for sharing this collection with us. Very nice M1 Helmet collection
Seaman Paper Company
Chicago, Illinois
Identified by a capital 'S' within an oval.
The "S" marking on that liner stands for Seaman Paper Company. They began supplying the US military about September 1942 till 1945
+Rogue Five Seaman? Interesting,
mhm
yeah
lethal ham cyka
Watching this video always makes me so jealous! I just LOVE the Hawley liners, and that Lt. Helmet is killer!
Those helmets are AMAZING! I have an early war M1917A1 helmet and a mid war from seam swivel bale helmet, but that's pretty much it. It's always nice to see some really nice helmets because mine aren't the best lol.
The second one look medieval. as a kid I used to think they stopped bullets doh
Anonimus Melfi omg lol thx that looks like a ricochet that hit it, not full on. yeah the guy would have a headache
hehe
Did he say that first helmet's an M1917 pith helmet? That's a Brodie helmet, that is.
Awesome collection of Helmets fully enjoyed the video
love all your videos very interesting to me , I learn so much on all of them THANKS for doing it
I also like mounting a net over a disruptive pattern cover. A net over burlap is a second choice. I like using greenish net over brownish covers for a contrasting effect.
The S in the helmet is for Seaman Paper Co. :)
nice helmets! unfortunately your m1917 is actually a british MII helmet, probably ww2 era that someones added an ega badge to.
+milcoll73 You are right about that. The stainless brim and the cloth chin straps are WW2 giveaways. Has anyone have the heart to tell him? I saw one like that on ebay and stayed away from it.
Well it’s been 5 years I bet he knows now
@@dglynn749 yeah, slapping an EGA on helmets is one of the most faked phenomenons sadly.
@@thurin84 many eBay sellers offering Vietnam era helmets as WW2. And WW2 helmets (Brodie's) as WW1.
@@dglynn749 yep. sadly all too true.
Great Video ❗ Great information 💯
S stood for seaman paper company they stopped making them in 1945
I have a M1 helmet that has the swivel chin strap. How do I figure out what time it was made? There wasn't a liner that came with it, so I bought a modern made plastic one and I'm not too satisfied with it since your can see it protruding out from the bottom of the helmet.
1:54 " yOu wiLl nOt kEeP YoU SaFe"
I think it'd be a good video if you did a video of UMC Marine corps Vietnam helmet covers against world war II m1 helmet covers to show what the different variances are keep doing videos you do job and you give lots of good information
Chirs what’s the best way of contacting you? I would like the details of the guy joe in the videos on the usmc gear
Hey did u ever get in contact with joe?
that mosquito net would be nice if it worked because it would keep bugs and light debris and branches out of your face and break up your outline a bit.
the first two werent pith helmets the "sun hat" was a pith helmet
That's what he said
He didn't say the first two were pith helmets
K9 UNIT yeah he did lol
Amazing
You saying yeah is so annoying, if you're not interested why even go there?
Yeah?
Yeah
Well said Bud
The encircled S is The Seaman Paper Company
The first helmet i have but mine is a gold but the people said its original. Did any get that paint job?
Sinclair liners were stamped SC these are low pressure liners they are more rare along with hood rubber co
Alexander Estrada Saint Clair.
Nice Video And Stuff
hi i have a picture of an unusual reinforced wwll usmc helmet cover from the national museum of the pacific war and i was wondering if you could take a look at it. I cannot find any information at all on it online. please let me know where I can send the picture. Thanks
Alex
Allowing for wear and stretch of the chin strap it probably read STM LONG 431050, the man's name followed by his six figure army number. Regards,
Paul
Watch out for the white asbestos liners on the Brodie helmets.
Any statistics on how mutch protection they give?
Will stop a 9mm from about 500 yards I think. Will not stop a rifle bullet. They were made to stop artillery shrapnel.
the S symbol inside the liner was the insignia for the "seamans paper company"
could also be schlueter markings
+gousmc1983 Schlueter only made shells not liners.
+D Glynn roger that, thanks for the info, semper fi
bro the netting on top is for tying scrim net strips to
I wouldnt clean the brass, the oxidation from age looks more original and is part of the history, most collectors dont clean their helmets
the Marine issue mosquito net & cover was issued all the way to 1991 during Desert Storm to US MARINES. They still had plenty of unissued ones left over from WWII
This vid is old but I just got a 1917 helmet and I was planning to smoothen the helmet since it’s bumpy but is that a bad idea? It’s a vintage helmet
@@romanlane6189 its supposed to be bumpy
Nice
I really like to buy an American WWII combat helmet but I don't want to get a fake one I seen one on eBay for $125 but I'm not sure if it's real it looks real what should I do where should I go please help.
Best places to buy M1 steel pot helmets are at military swap meets, militaria shows, estate sales, and special websites that focuses on the sales of military surplus gear. As for an American WW2 combat helmet, there are several different variations of the M1 steel pot helmet because during the war and afterwards, changes were made to the helmet. Be patient when looking for one and don’t be disgruntled when you find a M1 steel pot that was used after WW2. Remember, the M1 steel pot was used well after WW2 up until the 1980s when it was replaced by the Kevlar PASGT helmet. I wish you luck.
@@HistoryCollectorsForum thank you I did this talk to another guy on TH-cam just ordered one off eBay and he saw the pictures and said it look really good he collected them and thank you so much for your advice to
“It will not keEep you safe.”
A vsry informative and entertaining video , cheers !
6:00 i have a similar helmet it was my great grandfathers its in rough condition though
Bored American I’ll buy it off ya if you want. Message me on Instagram: Preston_w519
The helmet said 1943
good vido
I ham a collector usmc 👍👍👍🇧🇪
In my opinion the Pacific Theater Frogskin Camouflage helmet is pretty cool because I honestly like the pacific campaign the most also the Frogskin camp looks cool
They were still standard issue in the Korean War too.
@@CrossOfBayonne i know
This guy does know helmets 😝
where is this
Did Mexico wear Adrian helmet?
the most interesting wars of my opinion was world war one and the banana wars.
I’m really desperate for a hawley liner
1948
I have the 3rd one the non stel pot
Where the helmets basically the same until the eighties?
Yes
Only some minor changes to the liner and overall profile of the helmet.
+Archduke Alessio Galvunum The profile of the helmet didnt really changed. During ww2 there were two hemet producer Schlueter and i dont remember the other one. The helmet profile varied by company, but very little, and the 80s m1 helmets are vietnam era made, only with new straps and liners
They made new helmets in Vietnam and changed them from there on.
Lol, we were still using helmets like these in the NZ Army up until 2006.
I've got the stallhellm
the helmet with a USMC globe & anchor is not original, since it's actually a British MKII helmet, it's a fake set.
fishsauce1 wrong
When we first got to Europe in WW 1 the British supply the US with there helmet .Till we start making them at the end of 1917
We Americans got our WWI helmets from the British before we started producing them, but the example in the video definitely looks like it has a WWII British liner and chinstrap setup. The chinstraps have been simplified from the fabric with elastic to plain fabric.
Are any of those babys for sale?
+Zak Weichert They will be soon.
how much for the one with the stenciling?
1946
He
WW1 ended in 1918
Paul Byrd yes I know
Paul Byrd yes it did
Hypocrit 57 mo, he meant that the name of the helmet was m1917 but it wasn’t used in ww1.
The "S" may stand for *Singer*.......the sewing machine company also made war supplies.
Someone put a like quick. Before the Devil takes over this channel or video.
1933 it said
That could be happend my dad have that he had airborne hat
S stands for seaman
pilippines is must frienly of any country 😸😸👍👍
eljames luaton no
S is Sinclair liner
No it is not Saint Clair liners were extremely rare just like the Hawks and looked like a Hawley the S in the helmet liner for this one is Seaman paper company *****
I don't claim to be an expert on all the helmet liner contractors. Thanks for the info
Joe A oh and also Joe I have a very early Boyt 43 pack and it is written E-3-47 I have no luck trying to find what unit it was can you help me?
Identifying markings can be really difficult. They are not invasion markings. Without seeing it I can only guess but I believe they are post war inventory numbers
Ah ok Joe
Cameraman is not excited to be there 💀
The 3rd helmet looks like the airborn helmet
Oops I meant the 4th
@@2h4 just edit you're last comment...

Did this guy really say that recruits wore the Fiber helmet? WRONG, Shooting coaches on the range wear them and they're Lances to Sergeants if a recruit was caught with a coaches cover he would be in BIG trouble
My friend has a helmet . His name is G.I. Joe

That is a German helmet
1945
1948 on yellow helmet.
You don't sound interested at all instead of asking questions for viewers you say " meh, Yeah, ehhh, eyhhh" at least use a little bit of enthusiasm. Not to mention responding to the comments very rudely instead of answering the question, Completely unprofessional and impractical. Completely turned me off of this video.
Jawny Gash I think he is actually intrested its just that he sounds like he isnt but i know what you mean.
Yeah definitely. Might just be trying to stay quiet for filming
This man called a Brodie helmet a pith hat, also he said a ww1 helmet was produced in the 30s and 40s boi
I have an ww2 tool for diging trenches it says US 1943 ames or something like that and i yust realise a few days ago that is from ww2 2 years ago i cut a peace of the woden handel and i am sorry because i destroyed peace of history :( shit
