Historical Context
The M1 helmet was the standard U.S. combat helmet from WWII through Vietnam. During the Vietnam War, soldiers commonly fitted their helmets with Mitchell pattern camouflage covers, introduced to better suit jungle environments and reduce visibility. The interior Steinberg Bros. liner represents one of the respected wartime/post-war manufacturers supplying durable suspension systems for the M1 helmet.
