36-tex Posted August 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2018 Yesterday I attended an auction "in the sticks." Offered was a variety of militaria, with a majority of it being in poor condition. This helmet was the best piece offered IMHO. The liner is present and the chin strap was attached at the start of the day. After several people fingering the helmet, but the time it was sold the chin strap was laying next to the helmet. Anyway, it has an 89th ID painted on both sides. Am I correct that the insignia is for the 342nd Machine Gun Battalion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan H. Posted August 19, 2018 Share #5 Posted August 19, 2018 I believe that you've identified the unit correctly. I have a feeling that Mac is going to be ending up with this at some point? Great score. Too bad the crowd got to it first. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
