I picked this up at a junk shop for five bucks and was wondering how old it is, and if it's worth saving because i have plans that involve taking a dremel to it.

Ok so what do you guys think, look like it is worth saving?
Pics are a bit difficult to see well, but the liner is torn at the front and you won't be able to repair that. The paint can be stripped with a liquid so no dremel is required. It looks like an older liner (Korea) but it's hard for me to see well...not much you can do for this one though.
So the helmet isn't worth saving as a collectible?
strange as this may be to hear that is actually good news for me
It's not really that rare. There's a few here that may be able to give more info from the small pics, but it's not good enough shape and rare enough to do what you have planned...just older and damaged.
What i plan to do is use as part of a costume helmet i was commissioned to make. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't worth money before hand
Hi lyon13. Welcome to the forum!
It's an incomplete American Model M1 Helmet liner 1966 through the 80's. Jim is correct in that with the condition, period, etc., it is very common and it has no collector value. I think it's a perfect candidate to make anything you might want from it without destroying history. Hope this helps. ~ Harlan
