Unknown M1 Helmet Liner
Hello all,
A friend has recently asked me to ID his M1. The shell is undoubtedly a US made rear seam with anchor marked straps.
The liner however is something I have never seen before. It appears to be made out of a hardened plastic, marked 'TAE'. Liner appears to have some age, the chinstrap is genuine leather.
Initially I thought perhaps a Euro clone but I can't match it with any I know of. I am certainly leaning on the idea it is perhaps an older reproduction. Any thoughts? Cheers.
Wish I could help Mate! bugger the pics aren't in higher res! -guess mid east?
It is a mystery mate.by reneblacky
I did take the pics in poor light on my phone but I am not sure why so small. Must be phone setting I am unaware of. Cheers
Hi!
I have the same liner with the same tag TAE.
Can someone tell me about this manufacturer?
middle eastern?
Can't really help, I don't think it's a Euro clone, not Israeli, did any other Middle East country made their own M1 liners? it's interesting that there are two examples shown and they have the different versions of the liner.
Xristoforus, can you make out the writing, looks Hindi or variation of.
Steve.
Hi!
This helmet will soon be in my hands. After that I will take a detailed photo and see the inscription.
Thank You
I think that Iraq and maybe Iran made helmets which sort of resembled m1s. Im not sure though.
I'm sure I've seen the green liner bands on Argentine m1's, no idea on the liner maker though
This a liner to a paratrooper's helmet. The liner system is more complex than the standard liner.
