"Battle Battered" 506th PIR Market Garden

The 506th PIR was tasked with capturing the bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal at Son and moving south towards Eindhoven to secure four bridges over the Dommel River. They accomplished none of their tasks on the 17th. They quickly regrouped, marched towards Son, but were met by a German 88 mm gun in the center of Son, which halted their advance.

  • "Battle Battered" 506th PIR Market Garden paint

    The paint used on this Battle Battered version is the same as our other helmets. It is an Olive Drab shade used by the US Army between 1936 and 1944. The 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment insignia is weathered like the rest of the shell.

  • "Battle Battered" 506th PIR Market Garden texture

    The cork texture is crushed and weathered to provide a worn effect to the helmet. This is a feature found on original US M1 helmets.

  • "Battle Battered" 506th PIR Market Garden chinstrap

    Reproduction of weathered paratrooper helmet chinstraps. They are artificially worn and dirtied to give an aged and weathered appearance to this 506th PIR 101st Airborne Division helmet.
