US M1 Schlueter navy medic helmet LST 520

Very nice lightly worn US M1 swivel bale Schlueter Navy helmet. The helmet is marked 520 on the front indicating USNS T-LST-520 which was a US Navy LST-491 Class Tank Landing Ship. During World War II, LST-520 was assigned to the European theater and participated in the invasion of Normandy in June 1944. She was then assigned to the pacific theater and took part in the assault and occupation of Okinawa Gunto. The back of the helmet shows the outlines of a Red Cross indicating the individual helmet was worn by a medic. The helmet retains its original Firestone liner.
