kammo-man Posted April 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 16, 2019 Was at the rose bowl and came across a nice original helmet named to a L A times reporter The seller told me he has just sold his uniforms earlier but only found the helmet later in another box.

644td Posted April 16, 2019 Share #8 Posted April 16, 2019 That’s something you don’t see everyday, really nice helmet. Do think you can ID the reporter? Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC-RECON0321 Posted April 16, 2019 Share #9 Posted April 16, 2019 Nice find. Being a war correspondent, you would hope to find a picture of him in theater with this helmet. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kammo-man Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share #17 Posted April 16, 2019 Sadly I did not get it. The vendor was asking $950. Out of my price range. I was at 5 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskjl Posted April 16, 2019 Share #18 Posted April 16, 2019 Not getting it is a heartbreaker, but i guess we all have a story about missing a golden opportunity. Thanks for posting, even if it was a tease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share #19 Posted April 16, 2019 I pictured it to post before it probably went to Japan into obscurity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthytyler Posted April 17, 2019 Share #20 Posted April 17, 2019 Dang! Nice lid! Never seen one like it. Should have bought it and flipped it on to someone here. Im sure they would have paid much more than $950! Super rare find there. Great helmet with a great story. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
