Check the listing for details. The object in the image is a U.S. M1 combat helmet shell. Condition: Used. Listed at 210.00 USD. This is a U.S. M1 combat helmet liner, likely from the World War II era, featuring a khaki HBT (herringbone twill) suspension system. The M1 helmet was used by the U.S. Armed Forces from 1941 to approximately 1985. Liners with khaki webbing are generally older, with the color standardizing to dark green as WWII progressed. The liner was designed to act as a cushion between the wearer's head and the steel outer shell, and could also be worn as headwear for ceremonial duties. The image shows signs of age and rust on the metal parts, which is common for vintage military surplus items.
