Description
New old stock unissued Australian army M1 helmet chinstrap set. I acquired these with some other Australian M1 helmet and liner parts. From what I have read Australia began producing their own M1 helmets in the early to mid 60s and used their own canvas webbing and American hardware for the chinstraps. The webbing is a slightly different shade of green and has a different detail on doubled up sewn portion on the end of the chinstrap. The picture of the two bundles shows a bundle of 10 chinstrap sets and a bundle of 25 American made nape straps from the earlier type helmet liners. Both these items were imported from Australia along with several of the later type nape straps that are broad arrow stamped and 1968-70 dated. Interesting piece for the helmet collector!!
