This lot consists of a U.S. Army Lieutenant M1 helmet complete with its steel shell and liner, identified to John Bremer and bearing insignia of the famed 3rd Infantry Division. The helmet displays the division's recognizable blue-and-white striped insignia painted to the sides, along with lieutenant rank bars. The 3rd Infantry Division earned distinction during World War II in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Southern France, and Central Europe, later continuing service during the Korean War and Cold War period.
The steel shell retains its textured olive drab finish with visible service wear and age throughout. The interior liner retains its suspension system and chinstrap components, with "JOHN BREMER" painted inside the liner skirt. The shell and liner remain paired together, presenting as a complete field-used combat helmet set with strong display appeal.
Condition shows honest military use and age. The exterior finish exhibits scratches, scuffs, finish wear, and blemishes consistent with long-term storage and handling. The liner shows age toning and wear to the webbing and leather sweatband, the cloth still remains strong. Overall, this is an attractive named U.S. Army officer’s helmet tied to one of the Army’s most celebrated combat divisions.
