Original WWII US Navy Fixed Bale M-1 Helmet Painted Shell Landing USCG For Sale

The product is an original WWII US Navy fixed bale M-1 helmet, painted with a shell and marked as having been used for landing in the United States Coast Guard. This collectible item holds historical significance as a piece of militaria from the World War II era, specifically originating from the United States. The helmet serves as a tangible symbol of the conflict and is a rare find for collectors interested in authentic WWII artifacts. Yellow circles on the side could mean many things, from medic in the pacific, to landing party, USCG… I imagine this helmet is Coast Guard but cannot be certain. Early 71F heat stamp. One bail is missing.
