U.S. Vietnam War Era M1 Helmet with Camouflage Cover and Accessories
This helmet was part of a collection that we bought, it was previously on display.
All items, including the helmet, cover, string, spoon, matches and the Try Harder button are original Vietnam war era produced.
Standard steel helmet shell stamped with heat lot number 6054, paired with a high-pressure molded liner featuring internal webbing and a leather suspension sweatband.
Fitted with a reversible camouflage helmet cover (featuring Mitchell pattern-style leaf camouflage), secured by an elastic band holding period personal soldier field items including a matchbook booklet ("These matches are designed especially for damp climates...") and an affixed political/novelty button pin reading "We try harder."
Excellent condition, showing only light wear, and patination on both the shell and textile components.
A complete U.S. Vietnam War M1 Helmet setup.
A fantastic, display-ready centerpiece for any modern U.S. military or Vietnam War collection.
