Late-WWII U.S. Westinghouse M1 Helmet Liner With Improvised Net (Complete)
This is an original U.S. WWII Westinghouse manufactured M1 helmet liner. It showcases a very unique field-improvised camouflage net. It features blackened brass A-washers, which date the liner's production from mid-1944 to 1945. The khaki suspension is strong and intact. It's stamped with the original owner's laundry number, M-9295. In addition to the original net, it comes complete with its original headband, neckband, and black-buckled leather liner strap with United Carr rivets. The exterior retains an original field repaint. Just below the insignia eyelet is an additional hole - possibly added to accomodate a two-pin rank. This liner would be an ideal match for a swivel loop helmet shell.
