Description
This is an original WWII U.S. M-1 helmet liner leather chinstrap. It features a green painted steel buckle and blackened brass United Carr rivets, approximately dating its production from mid-1943 to mid-1944. Interestingly, chinstraps with black rivets normally have curved cam levers. This example, however, has the earlier flat cam lever seen on chinstraps produced during 1942 and was likely leftover stock when the rivets were transitioned from green painted steel to blackened brass. This would be an ideal chinstrap for a high-pressure helmet liner with green painted steel A-washers.
Provenance
Private Collection, Phoenix, Arizona
Condition Report
This chinstrap is in very good, used condition. The leather remains soft and pliable; however, one area does exhibit some surface cracking.
