No 1964 or later

Couldn't read stencil, is that how you dated it? Still trying to learn.

The date would be on the stencil, yes. To me I see a 8 with the digits before it gone so maybe 1968? Unfortunately its too faded for me to tell from the pic.

If it was ww2 it would have 2 studs on either side inside to hold the loops for the chin strap. It would have tan, not green webbibg brought together in the center by a shoe string. It would have a gromet hole in the front. There are a bunch of examples on the forum. Theres a liners post pinned at the top of the helmet section . You will find examples there.

Example of ww2 liner inside and out.

That's not where the date is. The Format is: "DSA-100-YY-C-####" with YY being the year and #### is the contract number.

 

Edit right after I commented this I realize there is a digit faintly visible before the C, my apologies. I lean towards a 6 though.

What I ment was I see a 8 before the C so I thought it was "68". Not to be confused with the 8 at the end of the contract #. I have a 68 AB liner just like this one.

Yeah I realized what you meant as soon as I commented, my bad.
