Frogskin7 Posted November 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 19, 2017 I have been looking at Helmet covers for a while and this one really caught my eye. I'm not sure if Marines Graffitied their Helmets during WW2. It also appears to have post war EGA stamps but then again the Marine could have just drawn it on. The seller is asking $425 and I might have to get it. What do y'all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M422A1 Posted November 19, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 19, 2017 The rank of Lance Corporal stopped being used in the Marines in the 1930's and was not reinstated until 1958 so I would think the graffiti would have to have been done after 58.

Possibly issued for Vietnam. I have only seen a few graffitied like this so its pretty cool to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchangelDM Posted November 19, 2017 Share #9 Posted November 19, 2017 Firstly I would check to see if there is rust on the shell as on the camo cover there is rust bleed through. From what I can see the shell looks rust free and the paint looks good so cover may not be original to the shell. As for the grafitti who knows when it was done , looks to have some fading D.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchangelDM Posted November 19, 2017 Share #14 Posted November 19, 2017 I would say the camo is not original al to the helmet as there is no rust present. D.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.C I have a feeling that the cover was used in Vietnam. Maybe I can get him to sell the cover by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 19, 2017 Share #16 Posted November 19, 2017 $425 seems like a hefty sum considering what you're getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at condition $70 -$90 would be fair depending how much you want it. Maybe a little more Kind regards Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted November 19, 2017 Share #19 Posted November 19, 2017 Yeah, I like the cover and the shell is interesting with the name on the front, but not $425 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
