USA M2 D
Bales Airborne Paratrooper: These are a set of reproduction
'D' bales or chinstrap loops for the American WW2 Paratroopers
helmet. These helmets were manufactured by McCord during WW2
from the standard M1 helmet but the chinstrap loops were replaced
with these 'D' bales in order to allow the paratrooper to
adjust the position of the chinstrap. An original 'D' bale
helmet is very much sought after. These loops allow you to
easily convert a swivel bale helmet into a D bale helmet.
Here's how: Grind down the
original swivel bales, sand the metal on both sides of the
helmet and spot weld the D bales in place. Most local towns
have a welder or garage that can do this for you in less than
20 minutes! That's how I do it! I have several of these in
stock, please email me if you want more than one set of these!
These D bales are an exact reproduction of the
originals, in shape and dimensions! Notice the bale ends are
not straight, they are angled to fit the slope of the helmet
and then flattened to allow spot welding. If you want to see
