WAFFEN-SS HELMET WITH "BRING BACK" PAPER WORKGerman steel single-decal M1940 combat helmet, with a very dark green painted finish overall, well-worn and oxidized in some areas, with a decal bearing the "sig" runes of the Waffen-SS, slightly scratched and dinged, on the right-hand side. The inside of the left-hand rim is heat-stamped "ET66", indicating that it was manufactured at the Eisenhuttenwerke at Thale. The rear rim is heat-stamped "228 5". The eight-fingered liner is of light brown leather, flaking slightly and size-stamped "58", with the original adjustment cord present. The dark brown leather chinstrap is cracking in several spots, but present and intact. Included with the helmet is a wood box, 13" x 7" x 10", used by an American soldier, Arthur Galloway, to ship his souvenir home to his mother at war's end. The box is addressed on the lid: "Mrs. William Galloway, Whitehall, New York", with the return address: "T/5 Arthur Galloway 62040938, Ser. Co. 36th A[rmored] I[nfantry] R[egiment], A.P.O. #253 c/o Postmaster, New York, N.Y." with the disclaimer "Contents: German Helmet". This address appears again on the front and back of the box. On the front, the address is partially obscured by the original capture certificate for the helmet, which is secured to the wood by four tacks. This certificate, dated March 6, 1945, is signed by Galloway's superior officer, and certifies that the value of the helmet as a trophy is not exceeded by its scrap or training value, and that no explosives or firearms are to be shipped. The certificate lists the specific items to be shipped as "German Helmet & Coins", although the latter are no longer present. The box further bears several postage stamps and an Army inspector's stamp. Records present with the helmet indicate that Arthur Galloway enlisted in the Army in January of 1941 and was discharged in September 1945, and saw service in North Africa and in Germany. It is most likely that he captured this helmet from a surrendering soldier in Germany, shortly before war's end, as indicated by the date on the shipping certificate. A superlative relic in as-captured condition.

THE TWO-STAR GENERAL'S HELMET OF GEN. WILLIAM H. H. MORRIS, JR., WORN WHEN HE RELIEVED BASTOGNEA special find, the mid-war American M1 helmet owned and worn by General William Henry Harris Morris, Jr. during his service in Europe. The helmet is an early war fixed bale M1 with the seam of the rim appearing at the front and with a very lightly textured dark green paint. At the front of the helmet, two stars are affixed, apparently brazed to the helmet surface and then painted to match the existing finish. The original chin strap remains attached, pulled above the front rim of the helmet. Within, the steel body bears the painted identification: "Maj. Gen. W. H. H. Morris, Jr." which clearly was applied many decades ago. The woven composite helmet retains all original straps and ties. It too has the same white painted identification and it has been done in the same hand. It is also aged identically to that written within the helmet. The front of the liner also has two stars painted thereon. A "Capac Manufacturing" stamp appears within. Overall very good condition. This helmet was purchased from a collection in New Jersey, where Morris was born and raised. During World War I, he served in France as a commander of a battalion in the 360th Infantry Regiment and he was wounded in combat. During World War II Morris commanded the 6th Armored Division during its stateside training, was promoted to brigadier general in January, 1942 and major general in May, 1942. In 1943 and 1944 he commanded II Armored Corps, which was later reorganized as the XVIII Airborne Corps incorporating the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. In 1945, Morris brilliantly commanded 10th Armored Division in the relief of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. Following this he was assigned to command VI Corps in the Seventh Army which drove from the Rhine to Italy in the spring of 1945.

M1 HELMET WITH 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION INSIGNIAUnited States Army M1 steel helmet shell and liner. The shell features fixed strap bales and a seam at the front, with sewn-in straps, and with the paint of the rim flaking away to reveal the bright metal surface beneath, all of which are hallmarks of early World War II helmets. The shell bears the painted insignia of the 1st Infantry Division, a red numeral "1" within an inverted diamond, slightly off-center at the front. It appears that a post-war armorer attempted to remove this insignia with some sort of abrasive substance. There is also a horizontal white "follow me" stripe painted on the rear of the shell, indicating that the wearer was an officer. The shell is also heat-stamped "223C", and the exterior crown bears some oxidation and scratching.

The shoelace which would have allowed the wearer to adjust the fit of the webbing is missing, but the webbing itself is intact but for a minor tear to one loop. The chin strap is also broken at one end. With honest wear to the webbing and leather throughout, else very good.

The finish is well-worn throughout, with much chipping and some oxidation evident. No decals are present. The interior is fitted with a dark brown liner showing appropriate period wear, although the split pins securing it within the shell are loose, indicating that it may have been removed at one time.

The helmet shows extensive wear and tear throughout, but remains a good example with an uncommon finish.
