I must have missed that question.

Neat pith helmet, by Hawley no less. You don't see many of those around now.

Just bought a pair. One green one Kaki. Found a nice Navy device earlier for the Kaki one and scored a USMC device this weekend. Not certain if they are dated but the suspension is similar if not identical. I will check.

Suspensions didn't change much over the years. Late war and post war are the same I believe. The contract numbers can be helpful with dating them. NXSX is a wartime Navy contract.
I just scored a nice Navy device, paid more for it than the helmet but it was the only single screw one I could locate. I won't have it for a bit, being shipped.
I checked off another of my bucket lists with a nice Zuckerman helmet on eBay the other evening. Coming from England, not sure when I'll have it. No painted marks but dated 1941 which is when most were made.

One has a leather adjustment cord the other a shoelace type. I will research the numbers and try and post photos.
