The M1923 was made from a single piece of Swedish steel and was produced in both military and civilian versions.

The military version contained either an Army or Navy emblem on the front, depending upon which branch it was issued to.  The inside of the helmet was equipped with a leather chin strap and liner consisting of eight flaps. On the rear of the helmet, there is a slit allowing for a carabiner to be attached to the soldier’s equipment, when the helmet was not worn.
