Its gratifying to know that ACW folks are checking out my helmet blog (http://combathelmets.blogspot.com/). I'll use this photo in a future posting, Thanks again Drew.
By the way, its a very rare "experimental helmet No. 8" manufactured in 1918 by the Ford Motor Company for trial by the U.S. Army.
Keep your heads down!

It's nice to know the helmet was designed to withstand a pistol shot from a mere 800 feet!
