tank234 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Another Ebay seller claiming this helmet belonged to a marine who wore it at Peleliu and was a KIA. Seller claims it belonged to Pvt Richard Edward Krauss medal of honor recipient. Link to post Share on other sites
ArchangelDM Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Vietnam Mitchell cover so Vietnam period use, the helmet could have been in use at pelelui 1944 and reissued etc but its a long shot. I like the Mitchell cover, but its a saying that has saved a lot of $$$ for a lot of collectors Buy the helmet not the story - Dean "Rise and rise again until lambs become lions."

644td Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 If you were thinking about about buying the helmet it is a good thing you asked here first. Marty Link to post Share on other sites
Blacksmith Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Really good point, and bravo to the OP for having the smarts to do so. We have seen a number of cases - in just the last month - where guys thought they had hit the jackpot. Jerked their wallet out without posting, and got burnt. Some folks are so worried that somebody else is going to get a deal, that they make bad decisions. Sometimes being the second mouse to the cheese is best...
