WW2 United States Allied Airborne Painted M1 Helmet Liner

An early war, WW2 U.S. M1 helmet liner, Westinghouse stamped to the interior and with the adjustable leather retaining strap in place. The exterior shows 2 hand painted colored Airborne shields, one to each side. The liner was painted white to the exterior around the Airborne shields at some point, with evidence of U.S Airborne wings can be seen to each side under the white paint. Hand painted black "M.P." was also added to the front at the same time. The criiss cross pattern webbed material liner is in place to the interior, which was modified for an airborne chinstrap, which is not present. There were no standardization for MP's or medics, with this liner (and also the helmet itself) being to an MP assigned to the airborne. SKU: J63641
