No Quarter Posted December 18, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2017 Hello, I saw this helmet for sale online and was wondering if anyone knows what these markings are for? The seller is not completely sure what they are either. He believes they are some kind of amphibious landing marking or unit leader. Thanks for any help!

trenchfoot Posted December 18, 2017 Share #3 Posted December 18, 2017 I think this helmet has been discussed before on another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthytyler Posted December 18, 2017 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2017 I think this helmet has been discussed before on another thread. What was the outcome? And why does everyone think any unidentifiable marking on helmet is probably associated with an amphibious landing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Hazard Posted December 18, 2017 Share #5 Posted December 18, 2017 I've seen this one before and tried researching it but couldn't find anything related to those markings, I don't remember there being a thread on it, anyone got a link to the thread if it was discussed?

stealthytyler Posted December 18, 2017 Share #6 Posted December 18, 2017 It reminds me of something I've seen in a SciFi movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgy (V) Posted December 18, 2017 Share #7 Posted December 18, 2017 It looks like a shield to me. China Burma? Navy? Maybe the soldier did it for some sort of protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill47 Posted December 18, 2017 Share #8 Posted December 18, 2017 Are we sure this is a U.S. insignia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

644td Posted December 19, 2017 Share #11 Posted December 19, 2017 When I was doing research on my helmet with a V on the front and back, google would suggest this helmet in question. I wish I could help out but without photographic evidence it would be anyone's guess. Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Quarter Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share #12 Posted December 19, 2017 http://www.johnnyg.whsites.net/hu646.html Here is the link to the website that the helmet is for sale on. I think the price is pretty high for an unknown helmet though. Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthytyler Posted December 19, 2017 Share #13 Posted December 19, 2017 Yeah that price is ridiculous for not knowing what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted December 19, 2017 Share #14 Posted December 19, 2017 LOL. Likely for the same reason every partially-discolored helmet is immediately camo: $$$. Has to be D-Day, camo, medic / corpsman, airborne, etc. No just regular helmets around anymore... What was the outcome?
