M1C WW2 82d Airborne Divisional Military Police - MP - Helmet: This is an original WW2 front seam, swivel bale, stainless rim & batch dated helmet, repainted in Divisional MP colour's. Many collectors turn their noses up at swivel bales because they think they were not used till late in 1945 or post war. This is totally incorrect. There is now published photographic evidence showing swivel bales being used from July 1944 and several have been 'battlefield' found! Now this helmet is batch numbered '89XA', where X is an unknown character. So this helmet is dated to approximately May 1944. This makes it one of the very first swivel bales manufactured! You will find that early dated swivel bales are increasingly difficult to find, so don't dismiss one if offered, they are now VERY collectable! This helmet is a WW2 swivel bale, stainless rim and front seam repainted into 82d Airborne Divisional Military Police colour's, taken from an original surviving example! A superb M1C helmet. I had to repaint this as a previous owner had stripped much of the original paintwork but now it looks almost as issued. Notice the varnish over the decals, as per the originals!
