airborne1968 Posted April 6, 2017 Share #26 Posted April 6, 2017 Nice helmet! I recently acquired one from the vets family that also has doves stamped under the brim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOLO Posted April 10, 2017 Share #27 Posted April 10, 2017 These pith helmets were also worn by civilians like this young child in this East German DDR wartime poster it translates to: SOLIDARITY HELPS TO WIN VIETNAM OUTPOST AT THE AFRO ASIAN SOLIDARITY COMMITTEE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramos Posted April 12, 2017 Share #28 Posted April 12, 2017 Most of those "salty old badges" are not original. My personal philosophy is to not "enhance" anything; they are best left just as they originally came back, but that's just me. Badges were actually pretty rare on captured sun and pith helmets. I have about 40 such helmets and only three or four were captured with badges. 40?!?! Good Lord, I dont think I have ever seen an original!
