WWII Paratrooper Helmet Chin Cup – Improvised from USN Talker Chinstrap
This is an improvised paratrooper helmet chin cup repurposed from a USN Talker helmet chinstrap. These modifications were fairly common, often done by surplus store owners to make the USN Talker chin cups more appealing to airborne collectors and reenactors.
While this is an original piece, it is not an authentic chamois-lined airborne chin cup, which are extremely rare and expensive. However, this serves as a solid alternative for completing a battle-worn paratrooper helmet setup without the high cost of an original.
📌 Only one available—A great choice for those looking for a historically plausible, field-expedient replacement with genuine vintage character.
