jpstout Posted March 25, 2016 Share #29 Posted March 25, 2016 As to Cesar's point, I don't think the 10th was the only unit to do this. At some point, somewhere, this was discussed and various photos posted demonstrated that the square/rectangular form was used in other theaters of war and different units. I do like this one Jamie has posted. regards, pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmax Posted March 26, 2016 Share #32 Posted March 26, 2016 Pat, indeed square panels did see use with other divisions. However, I've only seen this particular configuration of two squares on the sides and one on the back with 10th Mtn lids. Cheers, Cesar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that viewpoint, it does seem to fit with a 10th. regards, pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtbarnes44 Posted March 26, 2016 Share #35 Posted March 26, 2016 I do believe you have a sample of what a great faker artist, based in belgium (midway from the netherlands and northern France) is able to do. He is not doing a lot of them but they are always very similar, even if his "art"/technics are evoluting with time. Best regards JC you will make your own opinion but your helmet is very similar to these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards JC I'm sorry but, I do not see the things you are calling fake and this is getting very old very quick that when certain collectors post their items, someone like this has to come along and say it's fake. I removed all the posts with the multitude of photo's, which cluttered this thread needlessly, so that it would somehow prove this was a fake, which it is not.

jkash23686 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share #37 Posted March 27, 2016 I have to disagree with your opinion having this one in hand. What you are looking at is a strip job. The MGS(I think O??)L marking is the first being on the original OD green. Then the next layer up is the medics markings. And there is a last layer of black paint, that other than chips which are left has been removed. Many of what looks like chips taken out of medics markings in the pics is in fact flecks of black paint. Also I made a mistake this a front seam swivel bail not a fixed. -j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenthA86 Posted July 15, 2016 Share #38 Posted July 15, 2016 Confirming the only known unit to do the 3 square Geneva crosses was the Medical Bn @ 10th Mountain. Line medics used 2 or 4 round panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinS Posted July 17, 2016 Share #41 Posted July 17, 2016 Excuse me, I was to quick with my comment. The 70th Div DID use 3 square Geneva Crosses but in a slightly different way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
