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?

Obviously having it in hand is always better but, since we can't and based on this one shot, I like it.

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. Kevin

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?
