Nickman983 Posted September 6, 2022 Share #726 Posted September 6, 2022 First Pattern General Fibre Hawley liner ID'd to a WWII Seabee from NJ who served stateside. The vets son's name was scrawled in pencil on the liner post war which was actually what allowed me to ID this one. Here's the thread on this helmet/liner https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/337759-early-wwii-named-navy-m1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickman983 Posted September 6, 2022 Share #727 Posted September 6, 2022 Last but certainly not least, a post WWII USMC liner. The liner, helmet, and EGA marked cover are all marked 233, likely a roster or supply number. All components of the liner are WWII era, I've added an equally salty chinstrap to the liner. Interestingly the sweatband is installed backwards on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered what was missing from this one, although it does display okay from the one side (anyone know what the blue stripe might be - I've thought it might be for some sort of training NCO) On 5/6/2008 at 11:17 AM, Bob Hudson said: I think a good liner is the true rare bird: I can find front seam fixed bail steel pots somewhat frequently at swap meets, estate and garage sales, but a period liner shows up about once every year or two and I have only ever found one or two that had the GI's initial and last four of serial number as marked in WWII and those did not have chin straps. i have found some post war liners with bits and pieces of markings/paint/decals on them.

This liner may be a dud, a made up one. shopped that 328th Air Division patch over on USAF Patches sub forum, the Air Force guys there state unequivocally that no 328th Air Division ever existed in the PI or anywhere else, that the patch is for the 6200th Air Base Wing.
