A new OD3 chinstrap set has been fitted. Liner: The liner is an original WW2 high-pressure type manufactured by Westinghouse with the logo and the mould number 20 in the crown. When acquired, the liner was painted white with an eagle decal on the front. The outer was stripped bare and repainted in olive-drab. The liner retains its original single-weave OD3 webbing, its ‘A’ washers and rivets; the webbing is in a soiled condition. The shell was fitted with a new sweatband, new neck strap and a new leather chinstrap. Depiction: The helmet is a standard issue M1 with the USN Construction Battalion “Seabees” emblem stencilled on the front.
