US FS #76

US FS #76 - The shell is an original WWII McCord Radiator with a front seam, stainless-steel band and swivel bales. The heat stamp is 785B. When acquired, the shell was painted in a chalky olive-drab repaint externally and red-oxide inside. There were a couple of dings in the crown which I have tapped out. The shell is in good condition without rust. The shell has been stripped to bare metal, primed and painted in olive-drab with a textured outer. A new OD3 chinstrap set has been fitted. The liner is an original WW2 high pressure type manufactured by Firestone. The Firestone logo and mold number 63 and 108 can be found inside the crown. When acquired, the liner had been stripped bare on the outside and natural finish on the inside. There was no webbing present; a 50mm crack at the right front has been stabilized with epoxy resin. This liner shell has been fully refitted with new A washers and hardware, new triple-weave OD3 webbing, new sweatband, new neck strap and new leather chinstrap. The outer surface was primed and painted olive-drab. The helmet has had a khaki camouflage pattern applied over the standard olive-drab paint; the type applied by an individual soldier. An olive-drab cam net has been fitted as well.
