M1 Helmet Shell, Rear Seam, Heat Stamp Numbered. Falklands, Korea, WW2.

A good solid condition M1 helmet shell without fractures, rear seam and swivel bails. The shell seems to have had least two coats of paint, the top coat being a rough dark finish on top of a lighter green. Shell has a knock near the crown. The inside front has a heat stamp that someone in the past has tried to ''dig out'', i cannot make out the details. The remains of the chinstrap is the type found on postwar examples. Would make a good restoration project with a sewn chinstrap and wartime liner or finish off as a Korean example or if your lucky to have an Argentine liner lying about this shell has all the appearances of the type found on the Falklands for sure!
