US M1 Helmet – HAWLEY Paper Liner (Rayon) – McCord 370D
Description
A centerpiece for any advanced WWII collection.

The Hawley Liner: Made of compressed fiber. Due to their fragility, very few survived. This example shows the expected chipping and wear on the rim, consistent with an original 80-year-old paper artifact.
-
Rayon Webbing: Distinguished by its white/silver sheen and specific weave pattern, distinct from later cotton OD webbing.
-
The Shell: McCord Radiator Co., Front Seam, Fixed Bale.
-
Condition: Shell is solid. Liner displays honest age-related damage typical for Hawley models.
