This is an original WWII issue M1 helmet \"high pressure\" liner, stamped with the \u003cstrong\u003eINLAND \u003c\/strong\u003eCompany logo, one of the rarest makers of WWII M1 liners. Each of the 75,000 Inland produced airborne liners began their lives as infantry models and were later converted by the McCord Radiator \u0026amp; Manufacturing Co. prior to being issued. This example has a gorgeous period-applied camouflage scheme of white, brown, and green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis correct \"high pressure\" style M-1 Helmet liner was manufactured in Dayton, Ohio by the Inland Manufacturing Division, as indicated by the embossed I\u003cstrong\u003eN\u003c\/strong\u003eLAND logo inside the crown. It is also marked with mold number \u003cstrong\u003e45\u003c\/strong\u003e. This company started M-1 helmet liner delivery to the US Army in September 1942. They produced approximately 1,900,000 M-1 helmet liners and converted about 75,000 liners to airborne configuration. Inland Manufacturing discontinued M-1 helmet liner production in 1943 when their manufacturing services were deemed better used elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liner is in very worn condition, with three sizable cracks in the liner as shown. The sweatband is very worn but still mostly present, as are both paratrooper side straps, although the buckles are rather oxidized. The gorgeous camouflage scheme is in good condition although a good bit of it is worn. The brown, white, and green paint is still visible and is only seriously worn away at the dome which is where this example likely sat for many years. The front of the helmet has \u003cstrong\u003eMA \u003c\/strong\u003ewritten in pencil, which could be the soldier’s initials although this is unlikely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParatrooper liners are the hardest to find of all WWII M1 helmet liners, and this one is a fantastic \u003cstrong\u003eINLAND \u003c\/strong\u003eexample with period camouflage.
