This original adjustable neckband is designed for the pre-1964 Vietnam War-era M1 helmet liner. Dated 1962, it provides a secure and comfortable fit when installed in the liner’s suspension system.

How to Identify a Pre-1964 Liner:

To determine if you have a pre-1964 M1 helmet liner, check for the following:

• Garter Studs – These small metal studs on the liner’s interior were used to attach leather chinstraps. If your liner has them, this is the correct neckband for your setup.
• Webbing System – The suspension will resemble the WWII-style setup, featuring a shoelace adjustment cord in the center. However, unlike WWII liners, the webbing will be made from dark green cotton instead of the earlier khaki color.

Features:

• Authentic 1962-Dated Issue – Original U.S. military production, not a reproduction.
• For Pre-1964 Helmet Liners – Correct design for early Vietnam War-era M1 helmet liners.
• Adjustable Design – Allows for a customized fit within the liner’s webbing system.
• Durable Materials – Made from military-spec cotton webbing and hardware.
• NOS Condition – Unissued surplus in excellent shape.
