This original WW2-era US M1 helmet shell features a front seam and swivel bails, indicative of mid-to-late war production. The helmet has been reissued, as evidenced by the multiple layers of paint applied over time, reflecting its long service history. The exterior displays a textured green finish with wear consistent with field use, while the interior shows remnants of its original olive drab paint.

This iconic piece of American military history would have been issued to soldiers in various theaters of World War II and may have been reused post-war. The helmet is an excellent display piece for collectors, showcasing the evolution of M1 helmets through layers of paint and use.
