20th CenturyNotes
M1 helmets were primarily manufactured by McCord Radiator and Manufacturing Company in Detroit, Michigan, but were also manufactured by Schlueter Manufacturing of St. Louis, Missouri. This helmet does not have any distinguishing marks indicating a manufacturer, so it is difficult to know for sure who made it.Lexicon
