Quest Master Posted September 7, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 7, 2016 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCapturephotos Posted September 7, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 7, 2016 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. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Master Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted September 8, 2016 For reference, I normally pay $40-$50 for each of them...so if you see one for sale, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
