Unissued Mint M31 Helmet Liner - B&C Berlin 1939

Factory New M31 Helmet Liner - Size 64 n.A. / 57 - Biedermann & Czarnikow

This Item
An extraordinary, investment-grade, and entirely unissued pre-war German M31 helmet liner (Innentopf). Remaining in absolute stone-mint, factory-new condition, this specific specimen was produced as a depot spare and was never historically mounted inside a helmet shell. It showcases pristine early-war manufacturing standards prior to the mid-war transition to steel components. The Leather Assembly: The light tan leather section is in remarkable, fully pliable mint condition. The reverse correctly retains its original protective green felt backing strips and the circular reinforcement leather washers around the drawstring holes. The original, full-length cotton drawstring remains completely threaded through the fingers. The leather is crisply stamped with a size 57 marking situated inside a textbook circle. The Aluminum & Zinc Band Construction: The inner zinc-plated band is flawlessly secured to the early-war aluminum outer band. The reverse of the aluminum band features deeply struck, crisp manufacturer markings: B&C Berlin 1939 along with the correct sizing layout 64 n.A. 57 (Denoting an outer shell size 64 neues Art for a size 57 liner). The Hardware: The band retains both of its classic, early-pattern rectangular aluminum chinstrap loops. The rivets holding the loops and bands remain tightly factory-set and undisturbed. (Note: Chinstrap is not included, as issued from the factory depot).
