Also, no discredit to the person who did the uniform, you did a phenomenal job, it looks great!

As with all things in this hobby you have to have good intentions 👍

The Micarta Division of Westinghouse was not a collaboration with Capac. Capac obtained Westinghouse molds at some point after WW2 which they used to make liners starting in 1951. They stopped adding grommets to the shells during 1955. The Micarta Division of Westinghouse, the Capac Manufacturing Company, the Capac Manufacturing Corporation, and I believe Mine Safety Appliances (unless another manufacturer used MSA molds but didn't mark them) made liners during the 1950s. If I'm not mistaken Westinghouse stopped making helmet liners around 1969.

They are definitely unique wings!  Never saw anything like them before.

it is neat.  I like items like this that tell a story.  cheers!

Great card!  Do you suppose "Ala Moana Load" was meant to be Ala Moana Road?

interesting points.  I was wondering about the 925 mark as well.  It had me scratching my head.  Thank you for the comments and alternate origin locations!

It's not even that but that's a real big issue right now. It's the people who either to a shinola job and or they brag about it. There's a lot of people on Instagram that are restoring uniforms brag about it and then try and sell it.    If you what to restore a uniform by all means go for it. But please do it properly and respectfully. And if you ever sell said uniform please tell people it's been restored.
