Museum quality reproduction USA Paratrooper M1 Helmet Liner 'A' yokes, used to attach the chin-cup to the liner. These were only found on Westinghouse liners - the other manufacturers had different webbing and buckles. We believe these are the best 'A' yoke liner suspension webbing straps and only aged ones available on the market.
The straps are made out of a green or olive drab (OD #7) coloured webbing with green stitching - this stitching is the rarer variety as most were OD #3, see the last two pictures of originals. The buckles are the malleable iron alloy type coated in a OD #7 enamel finish. They were not made out of brass until after WW2, so if you come across brass ones they are incorrect for a WW2 helmet. These measure 125mm from the hole to the bottom of the buckle and measure 140mm from top of strap to bottom of buckle. Any smaller or larger then they are the incorrect size, ours are the correct dimentions!
The perfect item to convert your standard Westinghouse American liner to an Airborne liner!
Perfect for:
Helmet Restorers
Re-enactors and Living History
Airborne Collectors - use them for fake identification
Museums & Films
