AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

US Army helmet of a military police lieutenant.

- Heavy helmet with fixed flaps and front band, marked '659B' indicating manufacture in September 1943. The helmet has been covered with white paint and marked 'MP'. It is attributed to Lieutenant BRADLEY of the 3rd MILITARY POLICE TEXAS (no information available about this soldier) and bears the inscription: 'Strategic Air Command'. The helmet is in excellent condition.
- White-painted WESTINGHOUSE brand liner with black 'MP' markings. It is complete except for the chin strap. It has been worn much more than the heavy helmet, and its condition is average. It shows a crack on the rear part.
Note that the 'Strategic Air Command' was established in 1946. This helmet indeed dates from World War II but was used after 1945. The original green paint still appears to be present beneath the white paint.

Tracked parcel shipping by the post office or Mondial Relay with home delivery.
Possibility of shipping to a relay point upon request.
