It most certainly is not American made, The P64 pattern webbing with a chinstrap lug is a major giveaway. It might fit in a GI M1, but it probably wasn’t intended for one.

DylanTheGuy Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted August 24, 2021 Might try ask as there experts on M1 Helmets here. I also have pictures of black one with strap markings and a leather chin strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there’s information about it out there, but here is not the place. As dean said if you want more information you should post in on the world forum, you’re 100 times more likely to find somebody who is familiar with the liner. https://www.worldmilitariaforum.com/forums/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugme Posted August 25, 2021 Share #11 Posted August 25, 2021 We allow for questions concerning US clones and even have a pinned thread in the helmet section here. If you guys have the answer for him, he is better off getting it here from you than from the German and Japanese collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is our sister forum and I was part of the team who put it together, HOWEVER, I can assure you that there are not many M-1 Clone collectors over there... or anywhere else for that matter. They are simply not popular with collectors. And, as I said above, we do allow for folks to ask their questions about clones here. We don't promote a lengthy discussion but we can at least answer their basic questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted August 25, 2021 Share #13 Posted August 25, 2021 On face book there are various pages dedicated to helmets where the M1 clones thrive and a lot of information is exchanged. May want to try posting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchangelDM Posted August 26, 2021 Share #14 Posted August 26, 2021 Yes this might fit into an M1 steel pot, some Euro clone liners are wider than standard US made liners I believe but I think it might just fit. My advice would be to get a correct US made liner to go into your US helmet, that way you will have no fitting problems. Yes they cost more but you will have a correct set up with all US made components - Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
