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.

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.
