WWII US M1 Helmet, Fixed Bale W/ First Pattern Hawley Liner, Named Navy Surgeon. This is a very early fixed bale helmet with a first pattern Hawley liner. The helmet shows use and has a coating of rust on the exterior. In the front of the helmet there is a name Billups (MC) carved in. It is tough to see but its there. The liner and shell also feature a white diamond marking inside. When I received it the liner was filled with dirt and spiderwebs, I did clean it out as it was disgusting and dirty. The liner also had a piece of torn webbing that had pulled away from the rivet, I pulled the piece back up to where it should be and sewed it back together, not a perfect fix but it helps it display well. I was able to identify the name to a James T. Billups in the Marine muster rolls that is listed as a Lt. In the medical corps but his the rolls also show him with the First Marine Aircraft Wing. But that would explain the (MC) after his name on the shell. Billups, Service number 107338. Born 1904 in Winters, TX and died 2008 in Texas. He was a Navy surgeon in WWII with the Medical Corps. Records show that he was attached to a Marine Air Wing. The helmet was found in a Texas garage.

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.

Up for sale is a genuine WWII Fixed Bale M1 helmet outfitted with a rare 1st Pattern Hawley liner. Both of which are in excellent condition. This set is not NOS or mint but in very good condition. The liner retains its fixed leather chinstrap which is often missing or broken. The helmet shell does have some surface rust in one isolated area and storage wear across the shell. I will upload more pictures tonight to show this area. I believe this to be a matched set which has been together since the war based on the patterns of wear. Inside the shell, where paint has worn off you can see the fabric patterns from the exterior of the liner which has rubbed off onto the metal (see pic with heat stamp). There is a laundry number B-1636 inside the shell. Please review all pictures carefully, zoom in and inspect the helmet. I have 100% feedback!

Hi, thanks for viewing! To start, this grouping is very near and dear to me but I feel that now is the time that I must part with this. Unfortunately the health and well being of my family is more important at this time than material things and we will forever cherished the memories far beyond personal effects. This group has been in my grandparents garage since being brought back from the war by him and there it sat untouched and undisturbed until now. Due to my minimal experience with United States military I have consulted various people, posted to multiple forums and pages to better understand this grouping. Yes this is the same helmet that was posted on War Relics forum and various other posting pages. From my understanding the helmet is an Early M-1 Fixed Bale with light straps & Front Seam, with a Hawley First Pattern General Fiber Liner and original chinstrap. The Hawley liner is in fantastic condition as you can see from the photos as well as the shell. The owners name is stenciled on the outside of the helmet as well as on the outside of the liner. The chinstrap is in great condition and is original to the helmet. I know these can be difficult to find especially on original helmets so if you want more pics of it or anything else please me know! The helmet is 100% original in every way and if you have any questions, concerns or thoughts, please dont hesitate to ask! Further I will not sell this helmet/grouping so that it may be broken up or picked apart for pieces to make a quick buck. For sale to collectors Only. Helmet Heat Stamp/Batch Number: 63D.
