    Description

    The M-1 steel helmet was a revolutionary design, with a removable liner housing the suspension and sizing system. It quickly became THE iconic image of the unshaven, dogfaced GI of WW2. This US Army USMC Marine WW2 MSA M-1 HELMET LINER is in good condition, with a small piece of a gold decal with the letters "nef" still present at the middle front crown, a 1 1/2" crack in the back left lip, a thin vertical line of finish abrading down the lower back left crown, some scratching, soiling, and finish abrading around the exterior, some dusting around the inside, some dark brownish soiling to the interior suspension, some patina to the nape strap attachment snaps, some edge fraying and spot nicking at the middle front interior suspension, some scattered patina to the "A" washers around the inside, and with some overall age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the liner is in fine shape, with no other damage to the tough fiberglass construction, which retains approximately 83% of the original textured OD exterior finish. Most interestingly, it boasts a mostly intact khaki HBT interior suspension, sports the original khaki HBT nape strap, and carries the traditional encircled "MSA" maker's logo of the famous Mine Safety Appliances at the interior top crown. It features all of the original darkened brass "A" washers around the inside, and is a fine example of a rare, original US Army USMC Marine WW2 MSA M-1 HELMET LINER. No helmet included.
