Great group!

 

Nice bug net helmet cover with a great look, not sure I've ever seen another one that was likely period applied. I would be interested to see better shots of that helmet set-up!

 

Cheers,

I have to say it again, great group! Looks like that helmet liner has a WWI era EGA on it...maybe the dad's?

 

I honestly don't know the difference between a WWI and WW2 EGA yet. Im still a newbe to the collecting world. but here is a closer shot of it. sorry its so dark.

Fantastic group! I really like seeing the mosquito netting cover on the helmet. Somewhere on the forum, there are some photos(maybe on Iwo?, of Marines wearing this cover. Very, very nice!

Adrian, my name is James and Leo Desotell Jr was my grand father.  My family has been trying to track down what happened to his ww2 equipment.  I would be EXTREMELY interested in buying the group back to keep in the family and display in my office.  If you could get back to me so we could discuss it more I would REALLY appreciate it!
