FS: WW2 USMC Khaki Sun Helmets (Type 1 & 2) $100 each

Thinning-out the USMC headgear collection... This time, the two basic sun helmets you see in WW2 USMC photos.
USMC Sun Helmet Type 1 exterior.jpg

* "Type 1" (my terminology) version. This model has three rivets per side to retain the suspension/chinstrap. It is not unlike the early/pre-war Army and civilian models. This one has USMC contract information and "should" date 1943 or earlier (the year is slightly obscured). Has a nice, bronze USMC device and the (scarce) web chinstrap. Shows age and wear with some cloth abrasion (particularly on the top of the dome), but otherwise VG+. Several stamped names inside. These are NOT easy to find in my experience. $100
USMC Sun Helmet Type 2 exterior.jpg

* "Type 2" version. This model as four rivets per side to secure the suspension and chinstrap. As above only better condition with minimal age/wear. USMC contract 1944 dated with correct chinstrap and bronze EGA. A very nice example in overall EXC condition. They are not that rare (agreed) but certainly harder to find than the many USN contract (typically OD cloth) and 1948 Army contract being sold as "WW2 USMC". If you want a nice, original. This is it. $100

Prices do not include postage unless you buy BOTH (domestic sale only for that offer). Please PM direct if interested. Thanks for looking!
