United Nations M1 Helmet with Liner
Good used condition. Fully functional and field-ready, with light wear and typical service markings.
Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
This United Nations M1 Helmet with Liner is genuine Belgian military surplus.
Two-Piece Construction
Built around a heavy-gauge steel outer pot, this helmet features a removable composite inner liner for dual-layer wear. The inner liner houses a six-point webbing suspension cradle that distributes weight evenly across your head, keeping the steel shell comfortable during display or use.
Peacekeeper Specification
Factory finished in high-visibility UN light blue, this Belgian issue headpiece includes the official tricolour national decal on the left side. A leather visor band and heavy canvas chinstrap with metal locking clips keep both layers secured during movement.
Adjustable Suspension Cradle
An internal drawstring and adjustable leather sweatband allow quick sizing changes to fit most adult heads. The interior cradle detaches cleanly from the steel pot, making it ideal for historical reenactment impressions and military surplus collections.
