Hello, this is a M1917 helmet that I have had for a while now with an upgrade to the liner. A wool pad was added to the crown of the helmet which is sown to the liners adjustment netting. Has anyone ever seen something like this? Perhaps an officers upgrade? Probably done during the post war occupational period. Its been there for a very long time. When I got this helmet it was filthy and the pad was no exception which makes it seem original. Thanks in advance!

I have a few with modifications made to the liners for comfort. Newspaper stuffed behind the oilcloth, cloth in the top and one with the crown of a campaign hat sewn into the liner.
