Vpep Posted May 30, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2018 Hello everyone, I recently picked up this helmet to go with a VFW dress uniform, and I thought I would share it. Ive seen these around, but never with a manufacturers stamp. Unfortunately, it has a tear on the liner with a period repair. I hope you enjoy it.

Vpep Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted May 30, 2018 I stopped back at the antique shop that had the helmet, and found this to go along with it. It looks well used. Unfortunately, a part of the sticker has torn loose. Does anyone have any idea of what era this might be from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted June 2, 2018 Share #4 Posted June 2, 2018 Avery neat helmet Vic. Is it polished aluminum or khaki? I have never seen one with a maker marking either, although I have seen the plated ones with a VFW sticker on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpep Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted June 2, 2018 It is polished aluminum. Sorry about the photo, it has a yellowish hue to it. The dealer had another aluminum helmet there as well but it had an American Legion badge on the front, and the liner was completely different. I may go back and buy it because it was pretty cool, and not that expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBeyer Posted June 3, 2018 Share #6 Posted June 3, 2018 Vpep, If you are into helmets, I think the two could compliment each other very nicely. Thanks for sharing! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
