Screamingeagles101 Posted April 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 27, 2017 I'm sure you've all seen this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/272646514424 If it doesn't go too high, I'd like to make it the centerpiece of my collection. It looks good to me but what are your thoughts? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max0073 Posted April 27, 2017 Share #6 Posted April 27, 2017 Hi, for the pot it's hard to tell. For the liner, the "7" should be under the blue stripe as this blue stripe was ordered to be painted at the very last minute. Also, the red paint looks odd/new but it's maybe an effect from the photo Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Detective Posted April 27, 2017 Share #7 Posted April 27, 2017 From the pics, I think it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which my untrusting mind makes me not trust the whole set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkash23686 Posted April 27, 2017 Share #9 Posted April 27, 2017 Not sure how complete the 7th NBB roster is for Dday but the name in the shell is def. J.H. Lawler. His ASN came up a dud for me thats in the listing: 8233596 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aef1917 Posted April 27, 2017 Share #10 Posted April 27, 2017 It looks to me like the red paint on the liner was retouched at some point. There are two distinct shades of red there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ASN came up a dud for me thats in the listing: 8233596 Not going to comment on the legitimacy of the helmet or liner, but James Hershall 8233596 is on the APA233 (Beach Battalion) Navy Muster Rolls with a 12/5/44 received date. No earlier hits, but he could have been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith Posted April 27, 2017 Share #14 Posted April 27, 2017 Or higher. As sought-after and far between as these are, it wouldn't surprise me to see it go for five figures. That it's named is a huge driver. As the saying goes, "try and find another". 6k-7k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jguy1986 Posted April 28, 2017 Share #24 Posted April 28, 2017 I really was hoping this one would stay under 5,000 Not in a properly identified listing, which then gets posted on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted April 28, 2017 Share #25 Posted April 28, 2017 Yeah, I used to think that, but eBay's not a very well-kept secret. Like the OP said, "I'm sure you've all seen this one". And your point about being properly-identified is spot on. If it was listed in the Tupperware section as a "funky collander", that'd maybe be a different story. Personally, I'd rather take the risk of running the bid up by posting it here and getting other opinions. Not in a properly identified listing, which then gets posted on here.
