Keep in mind

All of our helmet shells are made of steel and come from military surplus. Some of them are over 50 years old and may show signs of wear and age due to storage. Although they are repainted and restored, some evidence of their past use may still be visible.

The helmet liner is one size fits all, but it is adjustable in depth and head circumference.

"Battle Battered" 69th Infantry Division

"The Fighting 69th" became the Division's motto after the troops passed their first combat test with flying colors - entering the front lines on February 11, 1945 and swiftly smashing through the vaunted Westwall, nicknamed the "Line Siegfried" by American and British troops.

  • "Battle Battered" 69th Infantry Division paint

    The paint used on this Battle Battered version is the same as our other helmets. This is an Olive Drab used by the US Army between 1936 and 1944. The insignia of the 69th Infantry Division is patinated like the rest of the Shell.

  • "Battle Battered" 69th Infantry Division texture

    The texture of the "cork" is crushed and patinated in order to give a worn effect to the helmet. This is an aspect found on the original US M1 helmets.

  • "Battle Battered" 69th Infantry Division chinstrap

    Reproduction of patinated infantry helmet chinstraps. They are artificially worn and soiled to give a worn and aged appearance to this helmet of the 69th Infantry Division
