manayunkman Posted July 28, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2012 I picked this up yard sailing in 1989 or 90 on my way to work. It was Mr Kelly's first yard sale. He told me that he served with the 4th Rangers and that they had taken many casualties. He was used as a replacement in the First Special Service Force. The FSSF patch was found in the pocket. Ranger scroll is Italian made. The helmet was found in a German cannon pit at Anzio. The pit had been hit by naval gunfire and the helmet suffers from great damage. It was found without a liner. Hope you all enjoy it. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Iron Posted January 15 Share #14 Posted January 15 Great grouping, whatever happened to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted February 5 Author Share #15 Posted February 5 I passed it on back when this thread first started. I sold off a collection with hundreds of groupings and was going to catalog them by starting a thread on each one before I sold it but because of one reason or the other I didn’t accomplish that goal.
