US M1 Helmet Liner 1942 pattern neck band.
These sweatbands are made from a light colour silver rayon and has SEGMA nickle snaps.
On April 28, 1941, Hawley Products Co. of St. Charles, Illinois received approval for its fiber helmet liner. Its design consisted of two rigid fiber shells cemented together, impregnated with water resistant chemicals, covered with olive drab fabric, and outfitted with a silver rayon suspension. The liner would then accept a small neckband and a headband, both of which were constructed of the same rayon material as the liner suspension.
Six liner manufacturers (Hawley, General Fibre, St. Clair, M.S.A., Westinghouse, and Inland) utilized this rayon suspension in their liners until approximately late-1942, when the new cotton suspension was introduced. Two manufacturers (St. Clair and Inland) produced liners with transitional suspensions that continued to accommodate the 12-snap rayon headbands.
