Selling a helmet that doesn't really fit in my collection anymore. This one was purchased some years ago from a prominent west coast collector and has been in my collection since. I'm narrowing down my WW1 painted helmets to the USMC line battalions and machine gun units so this one is ready to go to a new home.It's an American shell, named, with a 2nd Engineer insignia (black castle) on the front with an EGA mounted above it. The 2nd Engineers were called "Honorary Marines" by the marines of the 4th Brigade and some marine officers rotated through the various companies of that unit. This helmet shows evidence of being stored in a basement or shed but is solid and sound. The chin strap shows an old repair and the liner is held in with some twists of copper wire.
If more photos are needed please feel free to ask. All sales are final and this helmet is selling in the US only at this time.
Please pay within 72 hours of purchasing the helmet. I will ship it out withing 48 hours of receiving payment.
