WW2JAKE Posted February 1, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2016 I am confused by this one it looks never repainted, also looks like it never had any markings other than this but im leaning towards the idea that the markings are not original. but they do look old so theres a chance, but id like other opinions?best i can think is someone was tring to make a ground observer corps helmet but didnt know the insignia?

siege1863 Posted February 1, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2016 I have a documented CD helmet with a homemade insignia on the front. Instead of the traditional decal, the young lad who wore it colored/painted a piece of paper and pasted it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WW2JAKE Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted February 2, 2016 Lots of CD helmets don't have decals. that im aware of but ive never seen one that didnt follow the actual insignia or say in full which branch they are wit however it is possible they had a ground observer corps patch and copied the look from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrayGhost Posted February 2, 2016 Share #5 Posted February 2, 2016 however it is possible they had a ground observer corps patch and copied the look from there I would say that the resemblance is more than coincidence. I really like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
