Original WWII Early 1942 U.S. M1 McCord Front Seam Fixed Bale Helmet with Capac Manufacturing Co Liner Brown Bess and barrel shroud that nowOriginal Item: Only One Available. The U. S. WWII M 1 fixed bale helmet was only produced from 1941 to1943. The first production batch resulted with over 323,510 M 1 helmets before the start of the American involvement in the war. This helmet is stamped "72A" which indicates the approximate manufacture date of February 1942, making this a very early McCord shell as fewer than 10% of the total were manufactured before this date (see chart in photos),
