YOU WILL RECEIVE ONE CHINSTRAP SET AT THIS PRICE. PICTURES OF HELMETS ARE FOR REFERENCE ONLY AND ARE NOT INCLUDED. See pictures carefully before purchasing for details and condition. Several years ago I purchased many vintage used chinstraps i found in a secured building I had access to at the formerly amazing Smith & Edwards War Surplus store. They had been undisturbed for yearsThese straps were removed/cut from US M1 steel helmets when the helmets were repurposed from the 1960s though the 1980s with the Vietnam metal type clip chinstraps. They feature the late war ball & catch / buckle extender & spring steel hook. With some patience and just a bit of sewing skill, these can be re-attached to your Strapless WWII OR Korean War era steel M1 helmet. I have also attached these with a hi-temp adhesive. If you prefer original gear with honestly earned wear, dirt and scratches by the GIs who used them…. these are for you. The last few pictures show you the range of condition and colors from among those available. Sorry, no special requests. Shipped USPS Ground Advantage.
