This Vietnam War-era USMC M1 helmet features a vibrant green shell with a striking red-and-yellow painted corporal infantry insignia on the front. The shell is adorned with distinctive yellow stripe accents, reflecting unit or rank identification, and showcasing the customization often applied by Marines during their service.

The helmet includes its original Firestone liner. The Nape Strap, dated 1969. The liner retains much of its original olive drab webbing and leather components; however, there is notable damage to the webbing near the ear, as shown in the photos. Despite this flaw, the liner remains structurally intact and retains its original nape strap, adding to its historical integrity.

This helmet is a remarkable representation of USMC field equipment from the Vietnam War, showcasing personalized and field-applied artistry typical of the era. It offers an authentic glimpse into the gear used by Marines during one of the most challenging conflicts in American military history.
