Painting "Battle Battered" USN Medic

The paint used for this Battle Battered version is identical to that of our other helmets, with an Olive Drab base, the standard shade of the US Army between 1936 and 1944. It is covered in Navy Blue, the color of the American Navy, and completed with a front medic insignia.

Texture "Battle Battered" USN Medic

The helmet's cork texture has been crushed and distressed to faithfully reproduce the wear and tear of original US M1 helmets. The cork used on authentic models naturally degraded with time and use, creating a rough and marked surface. This texturing work mimics this wear and tear, providing a realistic aged appearance, perfect for evoking the combat conditions of period helmets and reinforcing the authenticity of the piece.

Chinstrap "Battle Battered" USN Medic

Reproduction of the early war raised bar chinstrap infantry version with patina. It is artificially worn and soiled to give a worn and aged appearance to this Navy medic helmet shell.

"Battle Battered" USN Medic

This replica US Navy medic helmet, marked with a realistic wear effect, faithfully reflects the equipment of medics at sea during World War II. Featuring a red cross on the front for immediate identification under fire, this helmet was indispensable for medical teams during critical battles. Aboard ships like the USS Indianapolis, courageous medics provided care under bombardment, often at the risk of their lives. These men embodied the unwavering commitment of the naval medical corps, risking everything for their wounded comrades. This helmet pays tribute to their heroism, symbolizing the spirit of dedication of the ship's medic in combat situations.

A bit of history

In this American factory, thousands of M1 helmets were pressed, inspected, and painted to equip the Allied forces. A symbol of American industrial ingenuity, the M1 helmet was mass-produced starting in 1941, combining manganese steel and technical innovation. This video demonstrates the intensity of the war effort mobilized on American soil.
