A U.S. soldier helmet from Steven Spielberg's war drama Saving Private Ryan signed by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and various other cast members. Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) and his squad set out through war-torn Normandy to find Private Ryan (Matt Damon), battling the Germans all the way. This olive green, steel M1 helmet and others like it were worn by the 2nd Rangers as they forced their way on land at Omaha beach and continued the fight across Normandy. In addition to Spielberg and Hanks, it is signed by Vin Diesel, Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns, Barry Pepper, Adam Goldberg, Giovanni Ribisi, and Jeremy Davies. The helmet features a fiberglass liner, a green canvas chin strap, and a sprayed orange diamond on the helmet's reverse, with a black "2" in its center. It exhibits signs of wear from age and use, including some paint chipping, but remains in excellent overall condition. Dimensions: 10" x 8" x 6" (25.5 cm x 20.5 cm x 15.25 cm) Estimate: $6,000 - 8,000
