This is a foreign-manufactured M1 helmet clone designed to replicate the iconic US M1 helmet. Its origin remains unidentified, though it was clearly adapted for medical use, as indicated by the striking red cross over a white fieldpainted on the shell. The helmet features multiple layers of paint, including red and gray, contributing to its unique patina and aged character.

The interior condition shows signs of extensive wear consistent with field use, and the original liner or chinstrap is no longer intact. Despite these modifications, the helmet’s overall aesthetic and historical significance make it a remarkable piece for collectors of military medical equipment or foreign M1 clones. This helmet is perfect for display and historical research, offering a glimpse into its possible use by an unknown military force.
