<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 25639305, member: 104064&quot;]Wikipedia says &quot;The U.S. Army used the basic Brodie-patterned M1917 helmet until 1942 with some modifications, which included a totally new liner and canvas chin strap. It was finally superseded by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_helmet" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_helmet" rel="nofollow">M1 helmet</a> in 1942 and passed down to civil defence.&quot; The M1917 is pictured below, so it does seem like your &quot;coin&quot; was intended to represent a helmet and period-correct for 1942, which appears to be the date on the coin. (I&#039;m no military expert, I just poke around)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1640307[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
