DUE TO CHANGES IN FAMILY PRIORITIES, I HAVE STARTED TO SELL OFF SOME OF MY WW1 ITEMS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER MANY YEARS.

THESE HAVE NEVER BEEN ON THE MARKET SINCE PURCHASE FROM THE FAMILIES OF THEIR ORIGINAL OWNERS.

THIS IS A SCARCE EXAMPLE OF A M1917 US ARMY BRODIE HELMET FOR A SOLDIER IN A MG BATTALION IN THE 35TH INFANTRY DIVISION. THE 35TH ID WAS VERY ACTIVE IN THE MEUSE-ARGONNE FOREST CAMPAIGN IN THE FALL OF 1918. IT IS ONE OF MY PRIZED POSSESSIONS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT IS LOOKING FOR A NEW OWNER.

NOT CHEAP, BUT NOT A COMMON RUN OF THE MILL BRODIE LIKE MOST OF WHAT YOU SEE ON EBAY, OR DOWNRIGHT FAKED CAMMO.

ORIGINAL, HONEST CONDITION WITH BOTH WARTIME STENCILING EMBLEMS AND ORIGINAL LINER.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND ONE OF THESE, IF EVER ...!
