UWH-0248WPN WWII Era US M1 Fixed Bale Helmet with Hawley Liner

This item is listed for historical interest only. It is not for sale.

The shell is in very good condition and has approximately 85% of its original rough textured finish. A 2 inch stress fracture on the front and 1 1/2 x 1 inch gouge to the finish with an early light green chinstrap which is in good condition showing light to moderate age and wear with some light staining. The hawley liner is the later version with the green hot suspension which would rate excellent except for rusting to some of the metal mounts which has caused some minor staining. The liner is complete with a clean leather sweatband and a nice neck strap. The outside of the liner has edge wear (minor) and four 1/2 inch cracks spaced around the edge. The rust from the metal fittings has bled through from the inside this liners damage is mostly hidden when mounted in the helmet. A few ware but overall nice examples.
