Just added this one to the collection, I took a shot and scored! I had our resident KW airborne helmet expert, sgtdorango, check it out and he has given it the thumbs up! ? It has great markings, with the right amount of patina to them, the Lt. marking on the front is painted over a 2 Lt. bar, the para straps are inserted/ woven through the A yokes to further secure the liner to the shell during a jump and it has a very nice WWII issue chin cup.

 

It was discussed here,

Overall, I was very lucky with this one and I'm very happy with it!

Thanks guys! It was a bit of a sleeper with no other bids at all, so that made me a bit nervous, but hey, fortune favours the brave sometimes! ...and thanks to Mike for his expertise!
