Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic, genuine American made Great War hand painted “D.A.V.” helmet. We believe this to have been used by a member of the Disabled American Veterans, an organization created in 1920 by World War I veterans for disabled military veterans of the United States Armed Forces that helps them and their families through various means. It was issued a federal charter by Congress in 1932.
The paint is somewhat worn, and definitely shows use, but it has a great look and the colors are still mostly discernible. The underside of the rim is stamped ZD 176 indicating it was produced in the United States, and can be seen on the underside of the skirt towards the front. The solid rivets on the chin strap bales is another method of identifying the helmet as being American made.
The paint is somewhat worn, and definitely shows use, but it has a great look and the colors are still mostly discernible. The interior of the helmet has most of the original paint present. The liner and upper chinstrap portion is present and in worn condition with wear present. The liner still retains some of the original top felt pad but is missing the paper label.
A wonderful totally original helmet shell with genuine original paint! Ready to display!
