Description
This original WWII U.S. M-1 helmet liner neckband was manufactured by Bates Shoe Co. It is a size large and exhibits parkerized steel snaps. Steel snaps were most common from mid-1942 to late-1943, afterwards brass was reintroduced due to it no longer being considered a scarce material. This makes it ideal for a helmet liner with either non-painted or green painted steel A-washers (including Hawleys and low-pressure liners).
Provenance
Private Collection, Klamath Falls, Oregon
Condition Report
This neckband is in good, used condition; all four snaps are intact, and the fabric is strong. Its manufacturer's stamping, however, has faded.
