ArchangelDM Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The cover is an original , the photos are not great tho , it could be a 1953 Usmc camo cover. Better pics would give you better results D.C "Rise and rise again until lambs become lions."

italian front Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thank you very much I'm sorry, but there are not more images... Are there difference between ww2 cover and p.53 cover? How can I know if is ww2 or fifty yeras? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
gitana Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Stitching indicates it's a Blue Anchor cover (Korea). If those markings aren't on a brown-side flap, I'd be concerned. Looking for EXPERIMENTAL & PROTOTYPE HELMETS Link to post Share on other sites

ArchangelDM Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thank you very much I'm sorry, but there are not more images... Are there difference between ww2 cover and p.53 cover? How can I know if is ww2 or fifty yeras? Thanks Many threads on here with extensive research on all types of the USMC covers that where available in the frog skin camo scheme. But as a rule of thumb , WW2 covers feature an open triangle stitch on the beach side 1953 blue anchor covers have the closed stitching on the beachside with a blue anchor stamp on a flap. These are not the only things to look for , then you have cross stitching on the bEach side , the infamous PAC man and his different shapes and then the WW2 Australian made USMC camo.
