This is an original, World War 2 American M1 Helmet. The M1 helmet is a combat helmet that was used by the U.S. military from World War II until 1985. In late 1942, the United States Marine Corps used a cloth helmet cover with a camouflage pattern for its helmets. The cover was made from cotton herringbone twill fabric. It had a “forest green” pattern on one side and a “brown coral island” pattern on the other. This particular helmet comes with its original cover and liner.
*Condition*
The straps and liner are still strong and functional. The helmet is in great undamaged condition but the cover has a few wear-related holes. Please see pictures for more detail as they form part of our condition report.
