I'm sure if you keep uploading videos more people will find them, you have videos no one else has I have never seen a channel focus just so closely on one type of item and it's really nice since you get to learn about all the smaller details.
The Schlueter rear seam is an example of the magnesium steel rim when production moved away from stainless steel due to paint adhesion problems. The straps are most definitely correct and are the OD7 stitched type. These were introduced late 1944.
Crikey you know info on M1 helmets too that’s awesome, also did you know the Schlueter Heat stamp went up to 600 so you are right on late 1944, I sure know my Schlueter Heat stamp 99A is March 1943, hey cheers mate for watching and comment my video
M1 U.S Helmets WW2 Korean Nam Era the late 44 reference is to the straps, Not to sure about the lot number range. The rarest Schlueter that I've owned was a fixed bale OD7 stitched strap. Made very briefly when the straps changed from OD3 -OD7.
Hi Ant, the thing here in Thailand all these U.S M1 helmets were reissued into the Vietnam war era so many things changed on the helmets like the cork texture was rubbed of and repainted plus bales and straps were updated too, I have a 79C McCord with swivel bales fitted as a update plus nam straps, plus liners WW2 updated to Nam era, but the best thing about all this I can say my helmets have seen WW2 Korean Nam era history, all my helmets left USA, I got no USA home guard , U.S Coast helmets, got all these from Thailand , Laos , Vietnam , Japan , Cambodia. Hey cheers thank you for Awesome comments
First off, love the video. It is amazing the helmets that you have acquired! Second, it is very hard watching you talk about the heat and the sun when I am stuck here in Michigan in the U.S. where every day is literally 31 degrees with no sun...needless to say I am quite jealous. Finally, I saw your note and hope that you keep posting. I have been in the same boat where I wouldn't post videos for months because I felt...why do it. I had a good heart to heart with my wife and a good heart to heart with some collector friends and a good heart to heart with a fairly popular youtuber and they set me straight. Each said that my videos were pretty specialized so not to expect huge traffic...and that I needed to remember why I started in the first place which was to simply share my collection. I respect whatever your decision is...but man I do love watching your videos!
Hi thank you so much for Watching and Comment yes I love the fixed bale too, living in Thailand I thought it was hard to find a fixed bale but now I think I have 8 of them, I love the feeling I have for my helmets that they all left USA to come to war in another country, these helmets I have seen WW2 then Korean and last Vietnam eras, I know I have a lot from WW2 Pacific war era too
Helmets of the ETO: A Historical and Technical Guide book it’s packed with helmet info and has a heat stamp chart for dating helmets thank you so much for watching and comment
I have a friend who is in the Marine Corps, and she is being stationed in Okinawa for one year (leaving next week). She said she will be going to Thailand and Japan and she will look for some helmets for me. Are you willing to share publicly or privately where the best places are to hunt for American M1 and Japanese Type 90 combat helmets? With the contacts you have and the knowledge you have accumulated, I sure would appreciate your help and advice.
Hello James, I don’t know the places where to find helmets I pay 6 Thai helmet hunters scouts to find me helmets in Laos and Vietnam, Thailand is very hard to find WW2 helmets now as everybody is buying them up quickly
where do you find your information on m1 helmets. I have picked up a few and all i can find is the most basic info. 42c0 3 347 A S under M97B I-6623 488 A S under
Hello That 42c0 3 i not know , the 347A S is a WW2 1944 Schlueter U.S helmet, the other S one is Hello That 42c0 3 i not know , the 347A S is a WW2 late 1944 Schlueter U.S the other s is a Schlieter too, M97B is korean war era 1950s and the 1. 6623 is a U.S vietnam era 1960s helmet
I wish I could find someone who knew about Vietnam era Parish helmets, I have one with heat stamp most likely 2401 (3rd number can’t be seen clearly, either 0, 8, or 9). Just want to know what year it was made, I’m thinking 1968.
Hello Mr E , ok that heat stamp 2401 could be a Parrish Helmet they only had numbers with no letter fonts, but please look carefully if that heat stamp have something like this. 1. 2401 If it looks like that with a 1 or some say it’s a i then a gap then number it’s a Ingersoll U.S helmet, Ingersoll made Vietnam war era colour pea green helmets, if Ingersoll it maybe 1966 to 68
M1 U.S Helmets WW2 Korean Nam Era There is no I or 1 before the heat stamp, it’s just 2401, 2481, or 2491. Half of the 3rd number is not visible. Thanks for the reply. Parish made helmets from 1968 to about or before 1970 with the heat stamps being small and upside compared to the others.
A little bit not relate to the video but uncle I found a C Ration can yesterday in a trench inside my grandpa coconut farm it rusty but still have the C ration shape I don’t know what Unit or menu is it because the can is been heavily burned during Vietnam war Hope u reply
I have so many questions about my m1 helmet deciphering if its vietnam wwii or whatever i try to use these videos as help but i guess my helmets are a little weird they stump me

I'm sure if you keep uploading videos more people will find them, you have videos no one else has I have never seen a channel focus just so closely on one type of item and it's really nice since you get to learn about all the smaller details.
