US M1917 "Doughboy" Helmet – WWI Era – Original Leather Strap – Nice Condition

1 of 8

A pristine artifact from the Great War: The original US Model 1917 "Doughboy" Helmet. Issued to the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) in France. Distinguished from later models by its oilcloth/oilskin liner and leather chinstrap. Finding an M1917 with intact leather and liner after more than a century is difficult. This example is in very nice condition, displaying honest history without the usual deterioration.

Description

The symbol of America's entry into World War I.

Specs: Features the correct WWI suspension system – a black oilcloth headband held by rivets, with a mesh top net and wool felt pad. The chinstrap is the original leather type with a sliding buckle.
Condition: Used / Very Nice. The leather is critical here – often missing or brittle, here it complements the helmet perfectly. The shell retains its anti-reflective finish.
