Easy Gee Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Here's another ,this one swivel Bale front seam M1, I believe this one was once a fixed bale,and unfortunetely has no chinstraps,but look's cool on display nevertheless;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 By the looks of the fixed bales on the 1st it may be a Schlueter helmet. Has it got a "S" stamped on the inside of the brim, also some code could be there. Nice lids and liners by the way. I agree about the 2nd one probably once was a fixed bale, judging by the rusting bale. Any code visible on the inside brim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have suspected for a long time the fixed bale may be a Schlueter, but there is no S, and no Heat stamp apparent,and without really stripping the paint right out of the inside ,I guess I will never know? The other lid has a heat stamp of 34?C, with makes this one quite early I suspect. I did find out a while back that because there is a dimple,where the swivel bale is now,it was once a Fixed bale,and converted to this way !!! I have a few more F/S lids ,so when I get time I will post them up for you to have a look at,if you want. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 34?C indeed makes it a former Fixed bale. Looking forward to more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice and confirmation Enigma, I'm off to France at the end of the week,but when I get back,I'll certainly post more of my lids,you never know, I might get some new ones in France to add to my collection and to show here,cheers Gary.
