I work at a Goodwill store and we actually had an M1 helmet with an M81 woodland cover and cat eye band just like this come through a few months ago. We sent it off to our online store, but not before I snapped a selfie of myself wearing it (which made me wish I could have gotten it for myself seeing as I usually have to wear a size large and this one fit me perfectly).
Got one about 15 years ago at a show for $20. Was in excellent shape. Price was initially higher, but the guy wanted my son to have it. Pays to be little and cute I guess.
I can't believe the national guard uses m1's till the 80's. I know the pasgt stuff was just getting introduced in the Army and Marines but still.
That's about the correct value for 80s production M1!🤔
Jman
J man!

Haha, I'm gonna take my future children along then.
I wasn't sure what those go for now. I got one back in the mid 80s. Can't remember what it cost. Maybe $20 to $30.
They go for about 75 to 100 on ebay now.
the m1 helmet isnt real if it doesnt have a heatstamp on the steel pot, it could be just a replica
That's right. It's got the heatstamp! I think I dated it to the 70s.
