Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
Original US military M1 helmet suspension assembly in unissued surplus condition.
Drop-In Helmet Restoration
This genuine cradle replaces worn webbing in post-Vietnam and late Cold War M1 helmet liners. Built to Supergrade unissued surplus standard, it clips directly into internal liner studs without any sewing or riveting required.
Secure Webbing and Steel Clips
Constructed with durable olive drab nylon webbing, the harness features steel attachment clips and adjustment buckles. It forms a central crown suspension that keeps the steel pot elevated away from your head to absorb impact and improve ventilation.
Original US Military Markings
Each unit features original black ink stampings including the official contract details, manufacturer markings, and NSN 8470-00-880-8814. The universal layout fits standard US ground troops helmet liners for accurate field setups.
