Named USGI M1 Helmet Liner – Fixed Suspension, Marked "J.T. Lincoski" with Service Number

Original U.S. GI M1 helmet liner with fixed (riveted, non-removable) suspension, named to the soldier who wore it.

THE NAME
Handwritten in ink on the suspension band: "J.T. LINCOSKI" with an 8-digit Army service number beginning with 13. During this period, a 13 prefix was assigned to Regular Army volunteers from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Part of the number is obscured by a fold in the webbing. Close-up photos of the marking are included.

ERA
Fixed-suspension M1 liners were standard issue from WWII into the early 1960s. The darker olive drab webbing on this example points to post-war, Cold War-era production. No maker stamp is visible. We have not verified the soldier's service history and are describing this liner only by what is marked on it.

EXTERIOR
- Laminated fabric shell in original olive drab paint
- Honest field wear: scuffs, scratches, and faded areas, with the fabric texture showing through in spots
- Front insignia eyelet present, with staining around it and a glossy patch above it (possibly old adhesive residue)
- Light rust staining by one side rivet
- Edge wear along the brim

INTERIOR
- Six-strap OD green webbing suspension with crown pad and tie lace, all intact
- Triangular suspension washers, some with original black paint and several with surface rust
- Nape strap snap studs present; nape strap not included
- Headband/sweatband and liner chin strap not included
