Here is my US centerpiece helmet: fixed-bail M1 Navy with Hawley liner. Picked this up last summer for a few bills and a couple hours of yard work after my friend found it in his house.

This one is very special to me. Painted for me by a friend that is currently serving another tour in Astan. It is a MSA Mich Ach. Painted just the way they are done over there.post-2427-1338840868.jpgpost-2427-1338840911.jpg

So if I HAD to choose, I guess it would be this medic lid, named and marked to the 8076th MASH in Korea. However, my ID'd 30th Div. WW-I helmet is a VERY close second.

Since I focus on Medic and Chaplain items, it was a given that my centerpiece would be one of those two items, however, I am a bit surprised by the amount of medical helmets that are considered to be the centerpiece of many of your collections. I take nothing away from any other helmet shown here, my mouth is agape at some of these helmets but, it appears I've got my work cut out for me in getting these medical helmets before you guys. :)

This brave Ranger, hailed from the Great Choctaw Nation, paid the ultimate sacrifice for his country on 4 June 1951--4 days and 61 years ago from today.

I would have to say the centerpiece in my collection would have to be my airborne helmet. I just started collecting and only have two helmets. One airborne, one infantry and I'm a fan of the airborne so that's why I chose the airborne one
