Corbin Posted April 6 #1 Posted April 6 Recently I purchased a helmet which included the liner pictured below. The liner is maker's marked Firestone 46, but despite some exterior scuffing and a small piece ripped on the back, it's in fairly good condition. I'm just curious on what the approximate date of this liner is, and if any parts of it are reproductions. I'm fairly new to M1 helmets and their liners, so do forgive me for asking. The exterior is marked "Weaver PFC"
Tesla Posted April 6 #2 Posted April 6 Congrats! Green A washers are generally considered mid 1943 to mid 1944. I have an Inland/Firestone liner in the same condition. I will have to defer to forum experts for any possible replacement parts.
gap Posted April 8 #3 Posted April 8 Looks like original parts. You need a WW2 nape strap to finish it off.
