This early WWII stainless steel helmet features the iconic front seam design, marking it as one of the first iterations of the M1 helmet adopted by the U.S. military. Made from stainless steel, these early models were later replaced by manganese steel as production evolved during the war.
The post-war liner suggests extended service life through multiple conflicts, reflecting the durability and versatility of the design. While the chinstrap is missing, the helmet is in remarkable condition for its age, showing only minor scuffs and no dents or cracks. A true artifact of military history, this piece symbolizes the resilience of the soldiers who wore it.
