Eric Stahlhut Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 took a closer look and found further markings on inside of headband strap. unfortunately ink stamps are too blurry for my poor eyesight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W McSwiggan Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Helmets and liners were organizational property and turned in upon reassignment at the central issue facility. When reissued, the "sweat band" was removed and discarded. The liner was issued with a new band at the facility. Because of this - trying to relate the band to liner is invalid. These helmet liners were issued during WWII until the introduction of the new Kevlar helmets that began fielding around 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 is it possible to date the liner based on the manufacturer's production code marks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
