Late-WWII U.S. Westinghouse Paratrooper M1-C Helmet Liner (1944-45)
This is an original U.S. WWII Westinghouse manufactured paratrooper helmet. It features original factory installed A-yokes with large cast buckles. The A-washers are blackened brass, which dates the liner's production from mid-1944 to 1945. The liner's suspension is unfortunately torn throughout. Remnants of its original accessories are still present. Painted on the interior brim are faint remnants of its original owner's name and serial number. The exterior exhibits an original field repaint. This liner would display quite nicely when paired with a wartime shell.
