This is a very nice example of a Mid War M1 Helmet produced by Schlueter, complete with its original Firestone liner. It is in very nice shape, and the shell is marked on the front with a single silver bar of a Lieutenant rank officer, most likely a 1st Lt. based on the silver color. The rear of the shell also has the correct "follow me" stripe painted on. The shell also has a fantastic WWII type helmet net over it,
