Surplus Helmets are some of the most iconic and collectible items in military surplus headgear, representing both battlefield protection and historical legacy. From early steel designs of World War I to Cold War–era composite models, the military helmet has been an essential piece of soldier’s equipment for over a century. Built to shield against shrapnel, debris, and impact, army surplus combat helmets became symbols of resilience and discipline on the front lines. Today, they are valued not only as protective gear but also as powerful artifacts of military history.
Our collection of surplus helmets includes:
-
Metal Helmets – classic steel designs such as the U.S. M1, German Stahlhelm, or British Brodie, built for combat durability.
-
Plastic Helmets – lightweight parade and training versions, ideal for exercises, cadet use, or display purposes.
-
Helmet Covers – camouflage cloths designed to reduce glare, conceal soldiers in the field, and adapt helmets to different environments.
A typical surplus combat helmet features a durable shell, adjustable liner, and chin straps for secure wear. Authentic versions often display service paint, camouflage, or unit markings, making each piece unique and collectible. Available in olive drab, khaki, grey, black, and camo patterns, surplus helmets carry both functional and symbolic value.
Choosing a Surplus Helmet means owning a direct link to the soldiers who wore them. Whether collected as military memorabilia, used for reenactments, or styled as vintage décor, these helmets deliver durability, authenticity, and timeless military heritage.
