WWII US Army M1 Infantry Helmet and Liner Restoration Service (Exchange)

US WWII Army  M-1 McCord Swivel or Fix Bale Infantry Helmet & Liner (EXCHANGE SERVICE) 
We are now offering an "exchange" service for customers who have trashed US WWII era helmet and liners that they would like restored.  The whole point of this service is to offer a simple and economic way for more people to obtain a complete and restored Top Pots US WWII helmet.   Some conditions will apply.
Before You Order: 

Before ordering this service, please contact us personally.  You will need to submit photos or describe via email the helmet shell and liner you have to exchange.  Once that is confirmed, we can give you the address of where you can send your trashed helmet with liner and you can place your order.  

The purpose of this exchange offering is to both reduce costs and production time for a customer wanting one of our carefully restored M1 helmets. 

Once the order is placed, you will be sent a complete and totally restored US WWII helmet (front seam) and M1 liner (may be from Korean War) from our inventory.  Depending on the current workload, a production time may be needed, but it will significantly faster than waiting for your helmet to arrive to be brought back to life. 
Goal: 

Again, the entire goal is to offer the chance for more people to obtain a quality and accurately restored Top Pots WWII helmet and liner.  After two decades in the business, we have learned a thing or two about bringing these helmets back to life and want to share that.  There are a lot of damaged shells and liners out there, so go find one on eBay, send us one you may have from another vendor or even resend us one of ours that we may have done 20 years ago, which may have been used heavily or just not up to the same standard as we do today, and save some money.
Dents, stress fractures, rust, missing bales are not a problem and cracked liners are okay, as we can usually match the condition of any liner you have, but ours will be beautifully restored.  Faults can be easily fixed in a structurally sound manner, which is not only durable, but pleasing to the eye.  Please know that if you do exchange a liner with cracks, you will receive a liner that also has cracks, but has been carefully restored and looks fantastic.  

(We are really good at restoring these M1 helmets, so don't be afraid to reach out to us)
Savings: 

This is our attempt to make Top Pots helmets more affordable and available to customers who may have access to or possess an otherwise worthless steel pot and liner.  We are going to keep this simple by not going into crazy customization or collector grade requests.  That is what the featured helmets and other services are for, but you can feel free to add additional services, such as painted emblems, netting, scrim, etc...  to your order. 

In regards to savings, you will save about $200 US from buying one of our standard helmets.

I can assure you every shell used will be a true WWII era piece (front seam) and all the liners will be US manufactured (frontal eyelet hole).  Also, if you like what you see in the example photos, you are going to love what you receive in person.  I strive to improve with every production batch, whether it's a small detail, such as paint sheen, or a larger one, such as improving the weave on the chinstrap webbing.
Rest assured, you know what you will be getting with a Top Pots helmet, something other helmet restoration operations cannot do.
Invitation: 

So, if you are interested in obtaining a totally restored and complete Top Pots US WWII helmet and liner, at a bargain price, head to the local flea market or EBAY and find you a trashed shell and liner!  I will be more than happy to find a home for it.  Thanks for looking and contact me personally if you have any questions. 

 

All helmets will include: 

Original US WWII swivel or modified fix bale M1 helmet shell and liner.  Both pieces will be restored to WWII era M1 infantry helmet specifications with high quality reproduction accessories.  This M1 helmet comes complete with all infantry chinstraps, removable liner strap, sweatband, nape strap and leather liner chinstrap (all pictured).
