Good video. I was the quality control person for the 1968 & 1969 Vietnam era M-1 helmets (#6521) made by Dana Corporation at their Trenton, Michigan, factory. When I worked there both the materials and the manufacturing process were classified. From what I understand that info is now in the public domain.

Thanks for sharing that information from the U.K. I bought an M1 today which has heat stamp 1023A The A has the low cross bar. It's a front seam swivel bale with textured finish & where the paint has chipped off it looks like stainless steel. The liner is stamped 26 with a shield above that with the letter F in it. The cradle & chin strap are fragile khaki & starting to fray. It cost £130 thank's to your video's i feel happy that it's a WWII helmet.

I have a few videos about my liners from when I was a kid... But now that I'm older I am trying to figure out my shell. It has a heat stamp 07G, front seam, swivel Bale and from what I can tell, manganese rim. Probably from about '44?
@JonBoyMilitaria
@JonBoyMilitaria 4 жыл бұрын
The heat stamp should have 2 more digits before the 07G since it has a manganese rim. It's possibly 1007G and the first 2 digits faded away. If so, then that would date eound September 1944 which means that your helmet would have been one of the last ones produced with a front seam.

John, Love the videos- by far the most informational ones I have seen on this site. I’ve got to ask how much you are willing to spend on these helmets? At flea markets, I’ve been asked to pay $100 on a rear seam manganese rim, which I did not want to spend. What do you think a fair price on any of these particular helmets in your video would be? Additionally, I’ve searched countless flea markets, antique stores, yard sales, sites, etc., anywhere else you’d recommend looking? Keep up the great videos, we appreciate them a lot
@JonBoyMilitaria
@JonBoyMilitaria 5 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your support. I appreciate it. Honestly, I wouldn't pay $100 myself. I believe that a lot of people think that because this stuff is old that it must have a large value. I remind people that 95% of the stuff we collect is common and millions were made. Some stuff is getting somewhat harder to find but it is out there. For example: there were around 22 million helmets made during WW2 alone. I go to the same places that you mentioned looking for items to add to my collection. I pass up stuff all the time that I would like to have but the price is way over priced. Alot of people don't have any knowledge about military collecting and so they don't know what price to ask so they search online and find something that looks like what they have and they ask the same high price. Other people just try to take advantage of others because they love the money. Collecting militaria is a whole other world than what non collectors realize. There are some many details, characteristics, etc that we look for and pay attention to. Honestly, it's kind of sad going I to some antique stores that I visit regularly because ei see so many items sitting there month after month and year after year because the price is outrageous. Sometimes I ask about a discounted price but most of the time they wont budge. 98% of the 115 helmets in my collection I paid $0 - $40. There might be 10 that I paid over $40. Alot of it has to do with being at the right place at the right time. I talk to people all the time and let others know what I am looking for. It has helped me out alot over the years.
@fredjones3693
@fredjones3693 5 жыл бұрын
JonBoy09 Thanks for the response! I always try to bargain, but some people simply do not budge. The most I’ve paid on an M1 helmet is $40, as it was my first helmet ever and I did not know anything about it, but it came with a clean Vietnam liner, so I could have done a lot worse. Good luck on your collecting!

The 66B would be a McCord and it would date around February 1942. The 111A S would be a Schlueter that would date around Mid-1943.

Your earliest helmet would have to be near then end of 1941 like in December because at Pearl Harbor we had the ww1 type helmets... I maybe wrong with it being 1941 even but we were wearing ww1 style helmets at Bataan. Also I still could be wrong in many ways because you are a professional and I am a middle class collector

MARINES M1Garan Yes it was before Pearl Harbor. The heat stamp is 28E which would put it late 1941 production. Thanks for watching.

JonBoy09 oh ok I got a M1 helmet from 1942 it had seen much combat because the strap had been missing chunks in certain parts and the hook was gone and the helmet liner was alright but was ripped a little I asked more about the helmet and they said that most was dented and torn from combat except the liner they said that happened over time for people wearing it and a little rough with it. I got it for $79 dollars and ended up enjoying the buy. It is also a Westinghouse brand helmet btw
