This Buy it Now auction is for an old United States Military M-1917 Combat Helmet.  This "Brodie" Helmet is based on the British helmet design.  This is the American version.  This helmet still has the interior "guts", and they haven't rotted and fallen out of the helmet yet.  The leather chin strap has ripped off and become lost to the ages.  Old leather dries out, cracked, and falls apart really easily.  It is a miracle that this helmet still has any of the interior parts.  This is an actual Antique item over 100 years old.  This item has sun fading, dirt stains, scratches, dents, paint loss, oxidation to the metal parts, dried out old cracked leather, etc.  This old war relic is no longer in the perfect condition that it once was in the day it was originally first manufactured.  This item is both damaged from having been used, and damaged from being old.  Time slowly destroys old things.  This item can be mailed in a Large size USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box.  I show some Black & White reference book photos that have information about this Antique War Relic Collectable.  The reference books, and the head the helmet is modeled on, are not offered for sale.  Only the old WW1 era M-1917 Combat Helmet is offered for sale.
Condition: For Legal reasons, the items in this listing are stated as "Used Condition".  What is a "Used Condition" item?  It is an item that is in "Poor Terrible Condition".  They are better condition than "Dug Relic Condition" items.  Items are no longer like how they were the day they were first manufactured.  Items have been used by someone Decades ago in another Century.  Items will have defects and damage from having been used.  The older something is, the worse the condition will be.  Wool items will have Moth holes.  Expect Moth damage to old wool items.  Expect clothing to have dirt stains, frayed cuffs and collars. Expect there to be Mildew and Mold damage stains.
Expect wrinkles.  Expect buttons to be broken or missing.  Expect zippers to be broken and non functional.  Expect size tags to be missing or damaged.  Expect leather items to be dried out and cracked.  Hats will be crushed and bent out of shape.  Do not expect clothing to fit you, it is not your size.  Expect oxidation and rust on the metal parts.  Expect items to be faded from having been exposed to sun light.  Expect metal items to have dents, scratches, and paint loss.  Expect items to have microscopic fractures when looked at under a microscope.  Expect Electronic items to no longer work or be functional.  These items are old and things slowly get destroyed by time. Please do not expect something in "New Condition", or "Good Condition". These items are in "Used Condition", and are Relics from another Century.  The vintage items I list for sale are not wearable clothing, or usable items. They are sold as old collectibles only.  If you are expecting something that is old and used to still be in nice shape, do not buy this item.  I am trying to be 100% Honest, and Accurately Describe the Crappy Condition of the Old Relics I have for sale.  If you want something that is in nice shape, than go to a store and buy something that is new.  These items are old and damaged from use.
