cavcon Posted February 7, 2016 Share #381 Posted February 7, 2016 looking for thoughts and comments on the nice original Lt . Colonels 2nd Constabulary Regt. helmet liner. Might be looking to sell but unsure yet. Thoughts? Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zotig111 Posted February 8, 2016 Share #382 Posted February 8, 2016 Cavcon, Is that the remains of a 3rd ACR decal on the right side? Any names or details inside the liner? That is a beautiful liner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavcon Posted February 9, 2016 Share #383 Posted February 9, 2016 Cavcon, Is that the remains of a 3rd ACR decal on the right side? Any names or details inside the liner? That is a beautiful liner! HI and thanks.. No, decals are of the 2nd Cavalry. The 3rd was never in the Constabulary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted March 12, 2016 Share #385 Posted March 12, 2016 7th Corps on an unknown Captain, circa spring 1945, didn't bother with a OD background disc it seems, just had the main star design applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted April 24, 2016 Share #386 Posted April 24, 2016 Not so much a marked liner as a painted one, a cadre instructor at the Ft Bliss Basic Training Center 1966. Yellow liner, with no Army rank etc, I posted this to show that the Army too use solid color painted liners, and helmets (got other fotos from other Basic Posts in the 50s-60s with steel helmets painted in a variety of solid colors), and we must, me included, not think Navy always when we see examples on the forum, though that's always the first guess, and barring any Army rank or other indication of it being Army, who'd can blame us for thinking Navy .

patches Posted April 29, 2016 Share #387 Posted April 29, 2016 Another solid painted Liner, this time MPs from a Naples based unit, who are gimmicking for the camera during the March 1944 eruption of Mount Vesuvius, their making toast . Though one, the closest to the camera has a tiny MP on his liner the rest do not, so here we do see that not all MP units universally applied MP to the front of their White painted liners.

patches Posted April 29, 2016 Share #388 Posted April 29, 2016 Click then Click again on image for Enlarged View. And the Fort Knox Armor Center Color Guard, circa 1959 and their unique painted liners, Yellow Lighting Bolts and Yellow Rims, kinda looks like the San Diego Chargers helmet right, no doubt however meant to depict the Lighting Bolt of the Armored patch. Also a tiny Armor Triangle decal is on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted April 29, 2016 Share #389 Posted April 29, 2016 As per GAP's post of 05 December 2015 #s 372 and 373. This unit is the 491st Anti Aircraft Battalion, probably mid 50s, and uses as it's decal the Coat of Arms of the Battalion. a DI was introduced in 1958 for the Battalion, here a Scroll was added to the bottom with the Battalion Motto PETO SUSTINEO DESTRUO (Seek Support Destroy). Can't find image of this DI to post. This division, the Reserve 91st Infantry Division went off Combat Status on 1 May 1959, and was downgraded and reorganized as a Training Division and as such had none of it's sub units in it anymore, to include the 491st AAA Bn.

patches Posted June 3, 2016 Share #393 Posted June 3, 2016 Interesting one Hink, note the painted over decal, it looks for the same outfit, 111th FA right! but as we see patently smaller then the one applied now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 3, 2016 Share #394 Posted June 3, 2016 A uniquely marked liner for an unknown ROTC unit (Note the circular ROTC rank insignia), unfortunately can't really make out the insignia on the liner, any tips from members? Foto is from the 60s from 1967 on, possibly very early 70s, at an unknown Army post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavcon Posted July 9, 2016 Share #395 Posted July 9, 2016 So I am sure if anyone saw this liner on ebay or at a sale there would be so many comments regarding how fake it is. Well, it's not. It was actually worn by this Trooper from the 22nd Constabulary Sqd, in Fuessen, Germany in 1949. As many of you know the local Germans were mostly tasked with painting the Constabulary liners and I guess this person wasn't on their game that day. Yes, the Trooper eventually got a corrected liner but not for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavcon Posted July 9, 2016 Share #396 Posted July 9, 2016 I stand corrected..... This Trooper was from C-Battery, 70th AFA, US Con., not the 22nd Sqdn. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted August 23, 2016 Share #397 Posted August 23, 2016 A 1st Infantry Training Brigade Cadre Liner during the Vietnam War circa 1968-69-70. A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT (Not affiliated with Vendor) It's up for the taking if anyone is interested. There was another one, an identical one, that was up that IDed Fort Dix, but this one does not mention Dix, but it is from Dix. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Vietnam-Era-U-S-Army-M1-Military-Helmet-Liner-Blue-Bolts-On-Guard/222226822188?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D38636%26meid%3D9293ba89b956440c954ca4dde8a55114%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D18%26sd%3D222217350170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
