tank234 Posted May 28, 2018 Share #1 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 #2 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."

Blacksmith Posted May 28, 2018 Share #4 Posted May 28, 2018 Crank up the time-travelin’ DeLorean, we got Cloud camo on Peleliu. As Ron and Dean said, Vietnam-era kit. Link to post Share on other sites
644td Posted May 28, 2018 Share #5 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 #6 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...
