I have a SPANISH M42 and also the M42 / 79 with updated web liner

US Field Jackets look great for casual wear with old jeans, the plain Olive Green looks best (No Camoflage) camo looks goofy in my opinion, unless your a kid / teen ager

my DWM 1923 Commercial Luger made for export came with two unmarked magazines just like yours , nickle plated with plain wooden bottoms.

the US M1 steel helmet is the only helmet that is big enough to fit me, some are too small, depending on the type of liner, the late M1 liners that snap in and can be removed for cleaning are usually...

I believe it's correct info, it's definitely a US M1917 helmet , the British shells had split rivets for the chin strap swivel loops, yours has a solid rivet

the Insignia is also a US unit, good...

I had a chance to buy a Chi com Type 53 that was brought back by a US Special Forces advisor, it was found inside an underground VC hospital, and it was in rough condition

I saw one of these at the gun show, but the rifle was missing the front cap that goes on the front of the stock, I would have bought it but the part was missing, he said he would take $100

I found a big can of rifle grease at the swap meet for a dollar, it's from the early 1960's, I use it on my surplus rifles

that coin dated 1912 looks interesting , looks like a half dollar piece?

I have a WW2 French Model 1926 with a brand new replacement liner I bought from a seller in France, and it's very comfortable, it's almost like wearing a hat, the M26 is an improvement of the early...

after WWII many countries continued using the British MKII Brodie style helmets, is the paint green or possible a desert tan? because many of these were used by the Israelis and painted a desert tan...

the British Brodie style helmet in the first photo is the most collectable of the two, since it has the CD insignia and the helmet is more like a military type steel helmet worth about $20

no, it wouldnt work, notice the Israeli helmet on the left, the chin strap loop with sliding buckle is totally different and also too far forward because it's designed for the 3 point straps

the...

yes and they also fit the older AR's with the early 3 prong flash hider

any M16 bayonet will also fit on the South Korean Daewoo rifles

the only real difference between the Israeli M1 and a US issue Vietnam M1 is the type of chin straps used

the IDF version has the British style para 3 point straps, and the US issue has the...

I can see the date of manufacture, the shell was made in March 1970 or 1979?

if you look above these marks you should also see the Roman numerals like a II for the shell size, these were...

the Auto Ordnance WWII model would be a better choice, it's very close to the look & feel, finish of a WWII GI model, plus it's actually made in the USA

nice helmet, the chin strap looks a lot like something that came off a French M26 Adrian style helmet, a German soldier may have added it himself, sometimes they did things like that in the field for...

I fired about 10,000 rds out of my Springfield Armory Mil Spec M1911A1

a few GI magazines had stress cracks and replaced my recoil spring once

modern steels are much more durable than the old...

I see the size number 56 stamped on the liner, that would be like a US hat size 7 [small]

my guess is the shell is probably a size 62 for that liner size

Not a Russian helmet ,it's an Italian M33 helmet, I would not recommend cleaning with oil, I would leave it as is, or maybe use some warm soapy water and a pad to gently clean it up

still looks...

looks like a nice early WWII Brodie with the large liner screw
