WW2 US M1 Helmet With Camouflage Net

A good untouched textbook example of the late war period US GIs M1 helmet with rear seam & swivel bales.
As is well recorded the swivel bale helmets saw service as of November 1943 with the rim of the shell being moved to the rear as of October 1944 so this firmly places its format as that which replacement troops are most likely to have worn in the Belgian Ardennes 1944/45 through into the fighting for Germany . Its original factory green rough textured Olive Green paint is largely intact .Chinstrap buckle is in flat blackened brass with tan webbing , all totally original to the helmet. Liner has original factory green paint & is a Westinghouse made example with embossed 'W' to interior . The liner band has 'P' contract marking for the wartime firm 'Paul K.Well Company'. The A washers are in blackened brass.
Textbook late war helmet !
