Vintage Vietnam War M-1 Parish Dana Helmet, P64 Liner, Cover- Military Army WWII

Description: Get M1 For The Road™Here at 'Get M1 For The Road', we're big fans of ALL things M1 helmet related! Lately we've found ourselves with too many M1 items and not enough free space, so it's time to thin the herd a bit. Our loss is your gain! Up for grabs - right here, right now, right away - is an M1 shell from the late 60's (Vietnam War Era) and a matching liner. Further details are listed below:Intelligence Brief: This helmet is complete, but it's been through a lot. It's seen some action, no doubt. I've had the liner (hardhat) and shell (lid) for a while, but I'm trying to downsize a little. I'm selling the liner & lid together, but on top of that, I'm including an ERDL camo cover (worn by the Marines in 'Nam from '71-'75) and an elastic band for FREE. This helmet is in good shape and aside from a few flaws listed below, there's nothing broken or missing. It's 'been there', so please look carefully at all of the photos before you even THINK about buying - I don't do refunds. Without further ado, here are all of the details:----OPERATIONAL SPECIFICS----Liner SitRep: This one is an orange vinyl version of the 'P64' model and is in decent overall condition. There's a stamp in the crown which reads "M 26". From what I've learned, that means that it was made by Marmac. The liner/suspension is from 1972 (POSSIBLY marked as: 24FEB72 - It's hard to read and I couldn't get a good pic of it either). The nape strap and headband were made in 1985 and were added by yours truly. It didn't have either one when I bought it and these two parts are basically 'New Old Stock'. The biggest flaws of the liner are: 1) There's a repair done with electrical tape (it was like that when I got it, please view last pic), 2) The 'A' washers have some corrosion, and 3) The green paint is pretty worn. All that aside, it's in good shape and is COMPLETE. (Most liners on eBay are missing the nape strap... at the very least.)Shell SitRep: This one was made by the Parish Division of the Dana Corp. between 10/68 & 8/69. The heat stamp reads '9621'. The chin straps are missing, but the bails/loops are pretty bent up anyway. There is one shallow dent that you can barely make out in the two pics that show the top of the shell. Also, there's one long crack behind the left side bail/loop. Like the dent, it's pretty hard to see unless you're actually looking for it. As for the paint, it's seen better days, but it's DARK, like WWII paint. You can see both the light green and 'rust' primers underneath. I have no idea why it was painted a darker green, but it appears to be factory issue. (You can use the cover to hide it or display it nekkid to show off its battle scars.) As I mentioned before, this helmet's been through a lot. I can't say for CERTAIN that it saw action in Vietnam, but it definitely COULD have.REQUISITIONED SUPPLIES: I recently acquired this ERDL camo cover (made in '80) and a cover band (from '99) to go with it. It's a grey-ish green color, and doesn't look BAD, but if you took a black Sharpie to it, it would look GREAT with the cover. Black bands always look better on these ERDL Pattern covers - in my opinion. Keep them on the helmet or don't, they're free regardless. (They were given to me recently, but I have no use for them - perhaps YOU do.) FINAL NOTE: I usually have a number of other items listed as well. I WILL put together bundle deals to save you money. Just let me know before buying. Also, I have a few spare (post-WWII) M1 parts, so just ask if you're looking for anything in particular.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please take a look at the pics and item specifics for any other information you may require.
