What variety of USMC covers did you get? (Slits, Slits with button holes in flap, no slit, Blue Anchor)

 

Thanks

Craig I have to correct myself. There is one Blue Anchor Cover with the diamond shaped EGA sewn on the front on both sides.

This is one of the helmets I got in this deal and didnt know what I had. A very cool 1st Cav Helmet. The pot has traces of very light brush strokes but I cant tell if it has been camouflaged. It is a beautiful od green. It is a fixed bail. It has great od #3 chin straps and is named. The liner has the 1st Cav insignia painted on both sides and Captains Bars taped on the front. I think Ill keep this one.

Thanks for looking.

Ronnie

Nice set Ronnie

 

I would venture to say its a occupation era due to the markings as well as the US serial prefix....maybe even early 50s?

 

I would keep it too ;)

Great haul!

 

The 1st Cavalry liner looks pretty sweet too, very similar to what 1st Calvary would paint on their helmets at the end of the war and occupation era.
