Swivel bale McCord M1 helmet marked 499C with Westinghouse liner

A nice and honest US M1 helmet complete with its original liner. The helmet shell is nicely marked 499C (1943) and the shape of the shell indicates production by McCord Radiator and Manufacturing Company of Detroit. The seam on the helmet shell is on the front and the bales are of the Swivel Bale type. The helmet liner is marked with a W indicating production by Westinghouse. The helmet was recently found on a flea market in Germany and hasn’t been in a collection before.
