Metal parade helmets based upon British (pith helmets) & modified German (Prussian) designs were in use in the 1880's by US Army personnel. However, practical protective steel helmets were not issued until WW1...the model 1917 British style "dough-boy" helmet. This helmet was used from 1917 until 1942; when it was replaced by the M-1 steel helmet (steel pot). The M-1 steel helmet fought it's last war in Vietnam.
