MinorInHistory Posted June 10, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 10, 2020 I was just wondering, are those WWI-looking civil defense helmets made from leftover WWI helmets or are they a separate design? I’m not talking about the standard design, but the one that is pictured below. The one in the picture is not mine. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsparks Posted June 10, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 10, 2020 They could be m1917 or M1917A1 Kelley helmets. Would have to see liner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake1941 Posted June 10, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 10, 2020 They did use some WW1 pots, there were also 30s/40s civilian shells produced that CD forced used. Those helmets are identical to the chrome legion helmets you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aef1917 Posted June 10, 2020 Share #5 Posted June 10, 2020 This particular example looks to be a civilian helmet rather than a reused m1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinorInHistory Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted June 10, 2020 Ok, thanks for the advice. I gather it depends on each helmet, not one standard system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
