WW2 US M1 Helmet Liner Sweatband – Issued, Named

This is an original WW2-era U.S. M1 helmet liner sweatband, featuring a well-worn leather and fabric construction with metal attachment clips. This type of sweatband was a standard-issue component of the M1 helmet liner, providing comfort and sweat absorption for the soldier wearing it. It is named, with handwritten markings visible on the leather, which may indicate the original owner.

The sweatband consists of a brown leather front pad that has developed a well-aged patina, reflecting extensive field use. The olive drab herringbone twill (HBT) fabric strap is still present but exhibits fraying from use. The blackened metal clips remain intact and were designed to secure the band inside the liner.

This sweatband would have been issued alongside the fiber-resin helmet liner used by U.S. troops in both the European and Pacific theaters during WW2. Over time, many of these bands deteriorated due to sweat exposure and harsh environmental conditions, making intact examples like this increasingly difficult to find.
