WW1 US M-17 Combat Helmet. Marked A.E.F. France. 1917/18

A very nice M-17 helmet with close to 100% of its period finish, rough to the outside and smooth inside. Shell is stamped ZC179.The complete liner system is supple and securely attached to the top rivet, its missing most of its paper instruction tag under the rivet. The chinstrap is complete but has an old repair to the length. An extra bonus is the period inscription to the front in a red wax crayon stating..A.E.F. 1917 1918, France. AEF would stand for American Expeditionary Forces.
