Original era manufacture. Issue wool tunic & breeches with a period camouflage painted steel helmet. The tunic displays a terrific 84th Division SSI on its left shoulder, US & Engineer discs and an unusual Engineer rate on the right sleeve. There is scattered mothing, some severe on the breeches. The handpainted camouflage steel helmet lacks its liner and a portion of the chinstrap remains. At one time a matching pattern 84th Division insignia was on the front of the helmet, now only traces remain. There is a strip of medical adhesive placed across the underside of the helmet which displays the doughboy's name. This is a great set, right out of the attic, with a very unusual WWI SSI. During WWI the 84th served in France as a depot division, supplying replacements to frontline units. During WWII it adopted a different patch design and served in Europe.
