A World War I combat helmet. The exterior of the helmet is olive green in color with a painted version of a 93rd Infantry patch on the front. The symbol consists of a powder blue helmet on a black circle. The interior is padded with cotton, and a layer of what looks like a fibrous plant material. Around the fabric is adjustable netting. The netting is connected to a piece of burlap with faux black leather on the top. There is a layer of faux red leather on the exterior of the inner padding with what looks like cylindrical pieces of plastic stuck in between slits that extend around the entire circumference. There is a leather chin strap.
