€2,975.00
Tax included

Rare genuine WWII US M1 helmet, front seam and swivel loops, manufactured by McCord with shell number II09 1. Original canvas chinstrap feautring the late production brass buckle and hook.

The insignia of 1er Régiment de chasseurs parachutistes (1st Parachute Infantry Regiment of the French Army) has been hand-painted in white on the front, while initials J.C. have been written inside following the same method.

Comes with an original Westinghouse liner, of the specific type intended for airborne troops, retaining its OD 3 cotton web suspension and neckband, russet leather sweatband, blackened-brass A washers, OD 7 A yokes, leather chinstrap and chin cup. The female part of one of the snap fasteners intended for attaching the canvas chinstrap has come apart from the liner.

A great artefact, in very good overall condition.

The 1er RCP was created in French Morocco in June 1943 and first saw action in the Vosges in October 1944. The unit went on to fight with bravery in Eastern France in the winter of 1944-1945, from Hill 1008 to Colmar and Strasbourg.
