This is an original WWII U.S. M-1 helmet liner. It was produced by Capac Manufacturing Company of Capac, Michigan. It features blackened brass A-washers and an OD#3 (khaki) suspension, approximately dating the liner's production from mid-1944 to 1945. The suspension comes complete with its original headband and neckband. Etched into the exterior's original olive drab factory finish are the original owner's initials, "E.G.S." and remnants of a triangular-shaped unit insignia.
