Miniature M-1 Helmet souvenir made in Italy 1943-1945

[Quest Master]

Just wanted to show off some really neat souvenirs made in Italy between 1943 and 1945. They are miniature M-1 Helmet paperweights, made of lead with an enamel unit insignia on the front. The are hollow on the inside. I have collected these over the years (I collected Italian made WWII souvenirs).

I saw one for the 3rd Division a few years ago at a flea market but they wanted more than I wanted to pay. I saw another at a gun show once but I forget what unit insignia was on the front of that one.

For reference, I normally pay $40-$50 for each of them...so if you see one for sale, let me know!
