The shell has been repainted in matt OD (Olive Drab), the colour used by the US Army between 1936 and 1944, and fitted with reproduction early-war infantry steel helmet chinstraps in khaki OD#3 webbing. This shell is painted in the markings of the 2nd Naval Beach Battalion and weathered for an aged, authentic look.

All our helmet shells are made of steel and come from military surplus stock. Some of them are more than 50 years old. They may show signs of use and ageing due to storage. Although they have been repainted and refurbished, some evidence of their past use remains visible.

The shell is sold on its own but fits all M1-type liners.

"Battle Battered" 2nd Naval Beach Battalion

The 2nd Naval Beach Battalion played an essential role in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944. Tasked with securing the beaches and guiding the troops, they faced perilous conditions. A notable feat was setting up beach markers under heavy fire, making the landing safer for Allied forces and contributing to the success of Operation Overlord.
