2nd Ranger Helmet

Genuine US post war M1 helmet, which we have converted to the WW2 style, worn by the Rangers, by the following changes.

• Replaced the late war green chinstrap with the early WW2 stitched on tan canvas chinstrap.
• Resprayed the outer shell with the correct WW2 green.
• Fitted a leather chin strap which fits into the liner and is worn over the front lip of the helmet.
• 2nd Ranger diamond painted on the rear.

This is the type of helmet worn by the Rangers on the Normandy landings.

The WW2 style US Rangers helmet includes:

• M1 steel shell painted and stenciled to the 2nd Rangers.
• WW2 style tan/khaki canvas chinstrap sewn onto the bales of the shell.
• Liner with adjustable headband to fit different sizes.
• Leather chinstrap clipped into the liner.
