original US Vietnam Para Trooper helmet liner.
Very good condition.
There is no date stamp on it.
With work in the 1970's emphasizing on compression molding techniques the company developed stronger and more efficient ways to mold materials, and in 1978 research and development was initiated to address the needs the United States Military for a lighter and more protective helmet for the men and women in the armed forces. This effort was rewarded with the company's fir...st government contract for a compression-molded liner for the M-1 helmet. By 1985 Specialty Plastic Products was a leading supplier of composite helmets, which eventually replaced the military's existing steel helmet. I'm guessing this was made about 1970 from what I found when doing research. could date from the 1950's through the 1980's
