An excellent example of a genuine 1980's U.S. M1 helmet with ERDL cover. This M1 steel pot was made between 1968-1970 by Parish Division of Dana Corp and has a heat stamp number 3602, the helmet has quick release chin strap. The liner is DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) contract marked and dated 1984, the sweatband/headband is also DLA contract marked and dated 1983 and the nape strap is also DLA contract marked and dated 1985. The ERDL cover is also DLA contract marked and is dated 1979, and comes with a U.S. elastic band with cats eyes to back. A very nice complete 1980's U.S. helmet in excellent overall condition.
