Hi guys when did the swivel bail hemet start to see service overseas? cheers, Ryan
Hi are all swivel bale helmets rear seamed? cheers, Ryan
I think it was 1943 they came out with the swivels, as the fixed bails would break easily.
The seamed moved to the rear in late 1944.
Hi that was what I thought...can someone please clarify exactly/precisely? Thanks Mr.Jerry
i believe it was in october or november of 1944,,,Robert
