This original M1 helmet liner headband, manufactured by Steinberg Brothers in 1972, is New Old Stock (NOS) and remains in unused condition. These headbands were discovered in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in the early 2000s, still in their original packaging—a rare find from the Vietnam War era.
While these headbands are unissued, they have been stored in bulk for decades. As a result, some may show bundling marks on the leather, and in some cases, the black finish on the spring clips may have chipped. However, they remain structurally sound and fully functional.
