jeremiahcable Posted August 4, 2018 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2018 Congrats on your find. It looks almost exactly like mine from the same unit, high punched EGA and a very crude and simple Indian head. American or British shell? Does it have its liner and is it named named?

beerdragon54 Posted August 4, 2018 Share #3 Posted August 4, 2018 It appears good to me but in hand is always better. Good find!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugme Posted August 4, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 4, 2018 Obviously having it in hand is always better but, since we can't and based on this one shot, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warguy Posted August 4, 2018 Share #5 Posted August 4, 2018 I like it as well! Is the ega hole punched? Can you see a name anywhere, maybe on the chin strap? If ega's are present, the fifth Marines almost always posted them high, and the 6th low. Once again I like it from what I see and think you probably found good one.

drbill Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted August 4, 2018 Also, this helmet is named W. Drowes or W. O/D Rowes. Does anyone know how to research this possible name and see if it matches up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremiahcable Posted August 4, 2018 Share #8 Posted August 4, 2018 There was a William H Rowe in 3/5, but no Rowes or Drowes comes up for the 4th Brigade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
