Lieutenant Grant 502 PIR 101st Airborne M1C Model American WW2 Helmet: This is a refurbished WW2 helmet and components, recreating the helmet worn by a Lieutenant Grant of the 502'd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne. It is refurbished to look as it would during field conditions not like other helmets who look as if they have come of the production line, hence there are small dents, scrapes etc. - this is a genuine WW2 helmet! Outer Shell: The shell has been refurbished from an original WW2 helmet, it is a front seam swivel bail M1C model as used by the US Airborne in WW2. The painted decals are identical to the WW2 versions and appropriately aged, unlike many many replicas this helmet is properly aged and looks the part after 60+ years of life span! The inside has been painted but left in its original state in other words the rust pits are still visible. I have done this to show its originality and out of respect to the helmets original owner! There is a metal Lieutenant's Rank insignia attached to the front, there is a 'heart' decal on each side and a officers stripe down the rear. There is good wear to the brim showing the early pattern McCoy stainless steel ridge and front seam. The chin strap is the Airborne model with DOT popper studs and is suitable worn. The name 'Grant' is painted inside the rear rim. Inner Liner: Most of the liner has been left as original as possible with the leather sweatband being replaced. The owners has his name painted on the inner shell and also the words 'GRANT 502 101 ABN 2455083' painted on the sweatband. The liner retaining clips are all nicely worn as is the leather chin strap and Paratrooper 'A' frame straps. The owner his his name glued in cardboard on the inside dome of the liner 'Lieu GRANT 502 PIR 101 ABN 2455083'. the outer liner has his rank insignia at the front and officers stripe at the rear. Notice the M-1C DOT female sockets in the liner and the complete nape strap. The leather chin strap is also fully complete. A superb WW2 Paratroopers Helmet!
