trenchfoot Posted July 26, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2018 I was able to grab this early produced m1 helmet shell with a nice 2 tone PTO camouflage and heat stamp of 39A 2. It crudely unit marked to the 6th Infantry Division. Does anyone here have any period photos of a similar camo in use with the 6th ID? Ive been looking for photos with no luck.

Garandomatic Posted July 26, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 26, 2018 Very cool... I've nothing to add, but am interested! One of my students had a grandpa that was in the 6th and I helped him put together a uniform and restored a helmet from parts for him. Very interested to see the star on it!

trenchfoot Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share #11 Posted July 26, 2018 hello it's one for sale on ebay ? ended early look great olivier Yes it was on eBay for a short time. I was able to trade for the helmet (I saw it on a different site) and I didn't notice it was on eBay until we were halfway done negotiating.

stealthytyler Posted July 30, 2018 Share #12 Posted July 30, 2018 can we get a closeup of that red mark on front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchangelDM Posted July 30, 2018 Share #13 Posted July 30, 2018 Russ has it got its chinstraps. Would love to see inside Thanks Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenchfoot Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share #14 Posted July 30, 2018 Russ has it got its chinstraps. Would love to see inside Thanks Dean Sadly it's just the shell. I am thinking of getting a pair of early war flat buckle chinstraps and a beat up Hawley liner to display it. It does however have a faint ring on the inside from shaving residue. I'll get some pics of the red marking for you stealthytyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
