David D Posted May 30, 2018 Share #3 Posted May 30, 2018 Fantasy piece. The force never marked their helmets like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taborka Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted May 30, 2018 The only thing I found on my research was a small arrival about painting numbers on the helmets and packs during Anzio to identify them at night. I viewed over 100 period photos and video and didnt see a single helmet with their insignia. Thoughts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Hazard Posted May 30, 2018 Share #10 Posted May 30, 2018 Yea, it's a fantasy piece. They even messed up the 1st SSF insignia and forgot the 'A' at the end of 'US'. I've seen a couple of these here in Canada mix-matched with repro parts, they had price tags of $2000+. Sucks that a perfectly nice fixed bail got painted over like that...

dogface44 Posted May 31, 2018 Share #11 Posted May 31, 2018 Hello, The most funny is the writing of "3th" instead of "3rd" which is typical of non educated european fakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugme Posted May 31, 2018 Share #13 Posted May 31, 2018 I have only seen one "somewhat" legit painted FSSF helmet. A "Force" vet had painted the insignia on post war helmet for an office display. As mentioned, these guys were all about stealth, not painting stuff on their helmets to make them stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
