Original U.S. Spanish-American War Era Army Model 1889 Summer Tropical Sun Helmet With Original Chinstrap by Ridabock & Co - Size 7 ⅛ French Ordnance fitted with long leaf springOriginal Item: One Only. This is a fantastic Spanish American war era sun helmet with very little staining present, a rarity! Included on the helmet is the original chinstrap which is another rarity in itself.

These saw active service in the Spanish American War of 1898, especially in the tropical climate in Cuba.
