Original U.S. WWI Marine Corps British-Made Mk. I Helmet with EGA Device & Full Liner and Chinstrap Helmets This tang looks to beOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is an incredibly nice British made Mk. I helmet that was issued to a United States Marine during the Great War. This very nice example is complete with liner and chin strap, and still has original period textured paint on the outer shell. Most notably the helmet features a P1917 EGA (Eagle Globe Anchor) cap badge. The EGA shows heavy verdigris on the back, so we are confident that this is original to the helmet.
