Vietnam "The Artist" - LIMITED EDITION

The iconic M1 helmet of the American soldier at the end of the Vietnam War. With its graffiti-covered Mitchell helmet cover, its elastic band, and its accessories, it represents the image of the GI at the end of the conflict.

A bit of history

In 1960s America, factories restarted production of M1 shells to meet the needs of the Vietnam conflict. Although modernized, the design remained faithful to that of World War II. It featured a more matte paint job and simplified finishes, but still retained the same iconic shape that accompanied a new generation of soldiers into the hostile terrain of Southeast Asia.
