World War Two United States military. Early high pressure M1 helmet liner. It comes with the original liner sweat band. The band is only in fair condition.
The leather is dried cracked and flaking. There is an unusual (but well done) war time period / field made? The webbing at rear nape has an old ugly / stitched / paint or glue covered REPAIR. The light khaki HBT cotton webbing is solid and strong. Except for the rear nape tape. It has a faint silhouette of a sergeants rank insignia on the front. Too bad it was painted white! End of war' Nuremberg guard' helmet?
Maybe lowly boot camp' fire watch' or. There is old patina (dirt & crud) discoloration to the external white finish. Sone minor over spray around the rim. Fresh out of a long time collection. Perfect for your WWII uniform.
WW2 American headgear or Military relic collection! Strip the white paint off -or simply repaint it.
Don't pass it up! Early liners are hard to locate today.
