Helmet Liner – FAQs
Can I choose liner manufacturer?
Unfortunately, no. While we’d love to offer that level of customization, maintaining inventory from every WWII manufacturer is not feasible. Each restored liner is assembled using available stock that meets our quality standards.
Are all your liners WWII era?
Not exclusively. We also use select later liners that share the same shape, size, and structure as their WWII counterparts — making them fully compatible and visually accurate once restored.
Do you use U.S.-style liners made by other countries?
Absolutely not. These are built only with authentic U.S.-made liners. We do not substitute foreign-made components under any circumstances.
What is the condition of your liner stock?
We take great pride in selecting solid candidates for restoration. While minor cosmetic issues such as rim nicks, hairline cracks, or small punctures may be present due to age and service use, anything structurally unsound is immediately rejected.
