Marksman Posted October 21, 2013 Share #151 Posted October 21, 2013 I was born in east Germany - since I was a little boy I wanted a U.S. steel helmet from the Vietnam War era - because they looked so cool Some years ago I fulfilled my childhood dream - and since then its the centerpiece of my US Helmet Collection.

1canpara Posted May 21, 2014 Share #164 Posted May 21, 2014 This is my most recent centerpiece and definitely one of my favorites! A beautiful 325th GIR matched set, FB with a Hawley liner, camo paint and markings in remarkable condition and some subtle soldier graffiti on the front.

usaaf93 Posted May 21, 2014 Share #167 Posted May 21, 2014 Hello My centerpiece. Sorry for the quality. The pictures were taken with a cell phone. It was repainted with green paint. I got a nice surprise when I removed it. You can still see the shadow of horizontal NCO bar on the back. I guess that officer really loved Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMC-RECON0321 Posted May 23, 2014 Share #172 Posted May 23, 2014 Two more great helmets posted guys! Nice one for sure Rick! Also love the Michigan helmet and I assume the white dot painted in the southeast Michigan area is showing where the soldier was from.
