Early-WWII U.S. Westinghouse M1 Helmet Liner With Rayon Suspension
This is an original early-WWII Westinghouse manufactured M1 helmet liner. Marked inside and out are the initials of its original owner, "F. M. R." It features non-painted steel A-washers and a first pattern rayon suspension, dating the liner's production to mid-1942. The rayon suspension is strong and intact; it comes complete with its original George Frost Co. neckband and an American Stay Co. double wire headband. This liner would display quite nicely when paired with a mid-1942 fixed loop helmet shell.
