WWII US Army Restored Original M1C Paratrooper Airborne Helmet Liner with Early War Leather Chinstrap

For the most authentic museum quality restored original M1C paratrooper liner for sale – look no further!

This is a totally restored US WWII M1 liner with accessories that has been converted to represent the rare M1C paratrooper model worn by the US Army airborne units during WWII. This M1C liner restoration has been conducted with painstaking detail, such as the use of United Carr marked hardware on the liner nape strap and, more importantly, the use of actual shuttle loomed 20/2 mercerized yarn A strap and HBT suspension webbing. All of which were made on the only functional original WWII era shuttle looms in existence.

At Top Pots, we are not "reproducing" WWII webbing... we are actually remaking it... on three WWII era Saurer Shuttle Looms with the original cams!
