Original Helmet from WW1 - M-18 - Issued starting in 1917 - These were also in use around the beginning of WW2. 7.5" front to back - and about 6.0" side to side inside the leather liner! Awesome Looking, Gorgeously solid & Heavy! Complete Original Metal Liner Rim with Original Leather Liner. Horsehair/ excelsior pads (very likely reproduction).

Chinstrap (probably a later Replacement) is still very pliable & usable! Metal is Great All-round, with very little oxidation!! This one WAS NOT Kept in a Barn or Attic! Si62 Stamped Boldly into Left Skirt.

Can't make out the steel number on the crown - there is one letter or number visible. The Soldier's name is written on one of the pads, but is too faint to make out.
