Original U.S. WWI First United States Army Engineers Painted M1917 Doughboy Helmet Russian Issue Equipment The stitching that held itOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic genuine Great War hand painted 36th Infantry Division helmet. The helmet features a beautiful Letter A with the Engineers Castle on the front and is an American made example. The letter "A" represents "Army" and is also the first letter of the alphabet suggesting "First Army." The paint is somewhat worn, and definitely shows use, but it has a great look and the colors are still easily discernible.
