US M1 helmet shell equipped with swivel loops, faithful reproduction of the models produced between 1943 and 1945. The sides bear the distinctive insignia of the 36th Infantry Division, a symbol inherited from its Texan origins. The textured cork-based paint, the worn effects and the details in accordance with the standards of the time make it a piece suitable for reenactment or collection.

"Battle Battered" 36th Infantry Division

The 36th Infantry Division, nicknamed the "Texas Division", was one of the first American units to land in Italy in 1943. It distinguished itself at Salerno, then at Monte Cassino in particularly hard fighting in mountainous terrain. After the Italian campaign, the division took part in the Provence landings in August 1944, continuing its advance through the Rhône valley to Alsace. The arrowhead T insignia recalls the commitment of this division, made up largely of the Texas National Guard, whose soldiers fought tenaciously on several European fronts.
