acw Posted December 5, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 5, 2018 Good day. New to posting on forum. I have more pictures but could only load two without the "error this file too big to upload". I know it's impossible to authenticate with these images but if anyone could identify any red flags II would appreciate your comments. Thanks for any information.

No Quarter Posted December 5, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 5, 2018 Looks legit to me. Nice paratrooper liner. The button may have been added on later but there is no way to tell, but it looks good on the helmet. Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manayunkman Posted December 5, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 5, 2018 The "We Try Harder" button is an advertisement for Avis rent a car and period to the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin6 Posted December 6, 2018 Share #7 Posted December 6, 2018 Look carefully at the foam insert. Fairly common for airborne soldiers in this period, but if well used (and considering over 40 years old) it should show age and would probably be very fragile and may even be crumbling. If it appears too new then it may be a recent addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
