Helmets

[BEAR]

No, just the M1s made late.

Some years ago, in a now closed surplus store in Lacey, Washington, I found a cardboard shipping box, dated 1984, containing eight M1 helmets (only bought one). These were made by RJ Stampings, a Canadian Company, and are the last manufactured M1s. Next to the shipping crate was a stack of 1984 liners with snap in suspensions (only bought one of these too). They now sit as the last in line of my M1 collection.

Those are they...and that retarded chin strap. We'd replace those hand over fist, the stores NCOs had crates of them. Useless crap. The snap in head harness was a wonderful idea, except when you took your filthy head harness out to machine wash and dry like the troops will do, it shrunk and COULD NOT be reinstalled. There were no replacements issued.
