Great thread everyone, I will post multiple images of the helmet I had obtained. The liner is Westinghouse, also, I am unable to make out the batch number, it is either 1101A or 1104A, maybe someone here can help. I know this helmet was not in combat, it belonged to an NCO who was attacged to the 542nd which never left the states. The individual was discharged in Feb 1946, he was promoted to Staff SGT, in May of 45, he held the rank of T-5 which is this helmet from Oct 1944 - MAY 45. Everyone's opinion is appreciated. The web chincup is missing one yelet from each side, it has fallen out to the winds of time. The chincup does not appear to have ever had a US stamp on it. The ghardware as is evident, is brass Let's keep this thread and knowledge flowing!
