Both pieces show use and have been painted in black paint along the front of the helmet. The shell along the wearer's right side features also a yellow painted anchor. One the back painted in the same black paint as the front shows the sailors name and branch of service « HARMAN, N. K. / C.M.M. U.S.N ». The shells exterior also has the name of an important port in Algeria scratched « ORAN ARZEW ». The shell has its early brass hardware still attached to the factory sewn on straps. They do show some exposure to salt water but are complete and in very good condition. The helmet liner is manufactured by « Firestone ». The liner's exterior features a really nice artwork period done by the former mechanics mate. It shows all the locations of combat while in the Mediterranean Theater during WWII. They include « ORAN - ALGERS - BIZERTE NORTH AFRICA / LICATA - GELA - PALERMO - SICILY ».
