Welcome to the helmet shop. The intent of the Well Dressed GI
helmet shop is to make correct appearing helmets for those on
a budget.  Getting your kit together takes a lot of money, and
this a way to save a few dollars when starting out.   My helmets
are all replicas unless specified.  

I can fill all of these helmet needs with some leeway for
painting, etc.  The amount of time depends upon my schedule
and the amount of time it takes to do the work.  I will provide a
pessimistic time frame that I intend to beat with each inquiry.

My helmets are painted a correct OD khaki color, and the other
details are as described.  They are all correct appearance when
worn, although some of the liners may be post-war or NATO, as
described in the text.  My liners can vary from time to time depending
upon my sources.  The liners can be changed at a later date to make
the helmet 100% WWII.    

I am rearranging how I sell helmets now.  I will have several
basic varieties of helmets that I make for customers.  While
these are standardized, I can create many varities based upon
your needs and the supplies I have.  If you are not sure about
your needs, or need a variation, just email me at
i
nquiries@welldressedgi.com and I will do my best to answer
them.  

Helmets:  
These helmets have been repainted, with correct shell
khaki straps added, and leather liner straps.  All of them are correct
from the exterior.  The shells are all postwar or NATO rear seam
swivel bail and may have some small dents in them.  I try top specify
this with all of them before selling them to you.

Economy Helmets: Postwar shells and mostly NATO liners, which
do have the studs for attaching the leather liner chin strap. These
include a helmet net of either 3/8” OD, or ¾” khaki or OD, or 2" khaki,
unless it is a painted helmet, and then it is as shown.    

The Normandy: $75  These are helmets as described above, with
3/4" khaki nets.  This is the classic Normandy look for a helmet.    
 

The Over the Rhine: $75  
These are helmets as described above,
except with a 3/4" OD helmet net as seen later in the war.

The Anzio: $75 These are helmets as described above except with
a 2" net, like those cut from vehicle cammo nets.  

The Liberator $75  These are helmets as described above except
with a 3/8" OD net.  These are not pictured yet but will soon be on the
website.  

M-1C type helmet: I can describe the details if you are interested....
similar to reenactor special above except set up as paratrooper.  I
have one ready to go.  If you do not like the helmet net, I have other
options.  For an upcharge, I can add the first aid pouch as well.  You
can choose the net option.  
OUT OF STOCK until I can find more
liners  

Divisional MP Helmet: $75 Painted shell with yellow band signifying
divisional MPs, and white MP letters.  The helmet is as descrbed
above, and does not include a net.  These can be seen at the US
Army MP Museum! I painted more but they sold out...planning to paint
more.

Non Divisional MP Helmet: $75  Painted shell with a white band
signifying non-Divisional MPs.  The helmet is as descrobed above,
and does not include a net.   These can be seen at the US Army MP
Museum! I apinted more and they sold out...painting more soon.

Chaplain Helmets:  $80  These are reenactor grade helmets
painted with either Christian or Jewish Chaplain insignia, and with an
officer's stripe on the back.  These are listed on the
Well Blessed
Chaplain page along with insignia.  It is topped off with either a 3/4"
khaki, 3/4" OD, 1/2" OD or 2" khaki net.  Please specify net type
when ordering.  Deduct $5 if no net is desired.  





USMC Helmet: $90 This is a helmet as described as above except
with a USMC helmet cover.  




Medic Helmet:  $85  Reproduction helmet with three panel red
crosses painted on it.  Patterned after WWII US Army regulation for
medic helmets with a few common sense adjustments.  No net is
included.  Out of stock but I can paint more




Helmet Painting:  I can do very basic helmet painting for units if I
have a good clear design I can work from.  I can also paint MP, and
medic helmets.  If you want me to paint your design on a helmet, send
me a good clear picture of what you want and I will decide if it is at or
above my skill level for all the various spades, diamonds, hearts and
jokers that people put on their helmets.  I will give you a quote upon
request.  Contact me at
