Saving Private Ryan, Private Ryan's Hero Helmet

original movie prop

This item is Pvt. James Francis Ryan's hero military helmet worn by Matt Damon in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning classic Saving Private Ryan.  This helmet consists of two fiberglass parts, an outer pot covered in web and fabric chinstrap and the inner liner which features an adjustable sweatband and cradle. The exterior shell has been painted an army green and also exhibits a faded spade insignia on both sides. Best of all, there is a production tag with the name 'PVT. RYAN' on the interior of the outer shell. Due to production use this item displays some light wear but overall remains in very good condition. This helmet measures approximately 9" (23cm) from ear to ear, 11" (28cm) from front to back, and stands 8" (20cm) high.  This incredibly rare helmet comes with a copy of a signed letter of provenance from the costumer coordinator for the film!
