A great original WWI helmet with lots of history. Ready to display!


An exceptionally nice example of a U.S. M17 Helmet which of course was based closely on the British Mk 1 Brodie Helmet.


Prior to the start of manufacture of these Helmets, the U.S. entered WW1 with 400,000 British made Helmets after evaluating several foreign designs, a large contributory factor in their choice being the immediately availability of supplies.


The manganese alloy shell retains the original factory granulated Khaki finish without damage and with light surface marks only.
