FIELD NOTES

Genuine USGI M1 Helmet Liner — P64 Ground Troops Type I, 1983 Contract, U.S. Military Surplus

Please note: The liner in the photos may not be the exact liner you receive. We stock many of these, and you’ll get one in similar condition to the one pictured. Email PottstownArmyNavy@gmail.com if you’d like photos of a specific liner before you buy.

The liner is the inner helmet that sits inside the M1 steel pot. This is the late-production Ground Troops Type I liner, known to collectors as the P64, made of molded, laminated nylon cloth. It’s a genuine liner from the final years of the M1’s service, made under a 1983 contract. The cloth weave shows on the surface as a fine texture, and some liners have fraying along the edges from age and storage. Choose it by itself, or add the unissued removable suspension and extra small headband we sell.

GOOD TO KNOW
Is this real military issue?
Yes. Items in our Genuine Surplus section are government or military issue, not reproductions. We describe origin, era and condition from the markings and our own research. If a listing also offers a reproduction version, that option is clearly labeled “Repro.”
Why does surplus sometimes have storage marks or a smell?
A lot of surplus spent years in military warehouses. We note anything significant in the condition details. Most storage odors fade with airing out or washing; follow the care label where there is one.
How does military sizing work?
Military clothing is often sized by chest or waist plus length, like “Medium-Regular.” Check the Size & fit chart when there is one, or call (610) 323-8000 and we’ll measure the actual item for you.
Can I return it?
Genuine surplus is final sale, so please check the photos, condition notes and size before you buy. New merchandise and items labeled “Repro” are returnable under our return policy. Either way, if something arrives damaged or isn’t as described, contact us within 3 days of delivery and we’ll make it right.
How fast does it ship?
Orders ship from our Pottstown store within 1–2 business days. You can see your exact shipping cost in the cart before you pay.
Can I pick it up instead?
Yes. Choose “Pickup” at checkout. It’s free, and we’ll call when your order is ready at 229 E High St, Pottstown (Mon–Fri 9:00–5:30, Sat 9:00–4:00).
