Original U.S. WWI M1917 Camouflage Helmet As Featured In The Book “Trench Art, An Illustrated History” by Jane Kimball on Page 228
-
Original Item: One-Of-A-Kind. This is a fantastic genuine Great War hand painted camouflage helmet shell. Helmet features original period colored panel camouflage paint in various shades of green, yellow, orange and brown. The best feature of the helmet aside from the camouflage paint is the faint but visible Motor Transport Corps insignia hand painted on the front.
The paint is somewhat worn, and definitely shows use, but it has a great look and the colors are still easily discernible. The interior of the helmet has some of the original paint from when the soldier repainted the helmet. There is no liner in this helmet, it is being sold as a shell only display item.
The underside of the rim is stamped ZD 194. The heat stamp and the solid rivets on the bales identifies this as an American made helmet. The interior of the helmet still retains most of the leather chinstrap though it is broken.
A wonderful totally original helmet with genuine original paint! Ready to display!
