manayunkman Posted May 23, 2019 Share #26 Posted May 23, 2019 A wild guess stealthy. Didn't the OP say he found 2 helmets? I wonder what the other one could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonm Posted May 23, 2019 Share #32 Posted May 23, 2019 That's a great helmet! Nice score! Do you think the black was painted over stripe to subdue the color underneath the black. It looks like some greyish blue is peeking out from the edge on the up close photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phineaus Posted May 24, 2019 Share #33 Posted May 24, 2019 Other units attached to the 1st ESB indeed used the blue invasion arc. I have a grouping for a soldier in the 595th MP Battalion that has the same blue arc on both helmet and liner but they were overpainted during the war.

USMC-RECON0321 Posted May 24, 2019 Share #35 Posted May 24, 2019 Any ideas on what the "S" stands for; Salvage Diver maybe? Or could it be the #8? The back looks like it could be a fancy #8 Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
