WWI US Army M1917 "Doughboy" helmet featuring the original hand-painted insignia of the 89th Infantry Division on the side, with soldier's name "Spear" still visible on the inner brim. (marked "ZC" with lot stamp), this helmet retains its original textured combat finish, liner, and chinstrap, showing honest age and service wear consistent with Great War use. A genuine and untouched example, this piece represents a combat-worn artifact of the division that fought in Saint-Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne, making it a highly desirable addition to any advanced WWI militaria collection. This is an original historical artifact from the First World War era, and therefore shows natural wear and tear resulting from age and regular use during the period.
