I’ve probably owned well over 100 m1 helmet liners in my time, and I’ve never seen one like this before. It’s made of modern plastic, and marked with that little clock thing they use to date plastic products. This seems to indicate it was made in 1990, which is about 5 years after the m1 helmet was replaced by the Kevlar helmet for common U.S. military use. It has a cloth version of the typically-leather wwii era liner chinstraps, with the same type of buckle. The suspension inside is all typical of an M1 helmet liner. I’m assuming it was used for parades or ceremonies, where actual military personnel still wore M1 helmets, even though they had been replaced for actual use by Kevlar. Probably not the most fascinating history, but a very uncommon addition to a collection of M1 helmets. —————— BUYER PAYS SHIPPING USA ONLY. I DO NOT SHIP TO EUROPE. Ever.
