For sale is a beautiful M-1 Helmet Hawley Liner (2nd Pattern). This helmet is a true US Navy Liner Based on where the last name MILLER is written. On the inside part of the sweatband his first name initial A and his last few numbers on his serial number are written. Miller possibly saw action during the Battle of Midway in June, 1942 or was part of the Landings at Guadalcanal. The liner is in surprisingly good shape considering that the materials used on these liners didnt hold up during the rough, hot, and humid conditions in the South Pacific. There is one semi-large crack on the front which is shown in the photos. Also there are 2 small tears on the top. I would recommend (if pairing with a shell) to use a Fixed Bale USN painted shell. The liner will fit in the shell, but please remember that the liner is very old and is not like the later War Fiber glass style liners. I personally kept the liner by itself. Thanks for checking out this great piece of history! The item “Original USN Named M-1 Hawley Liner” is in sale since Wednesday, November 01, 2017.
