scottiques Posted November 23, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2019 I am not a serious WW2 or helmet collector but took a chance on this one based on the reasonable price. Any thoughts are appreciated-- don't worry about hurting my feelings! I did a quick check on the National Archives site and did find the soldier w/ service number listed. And YES, Hazel can be a man's name! Thanks again for any thoughts-- let me know if additional photos/ information is needed. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickman983 Posted November 23, 2019 Share #5 Posted November 23, 2019 Based on the paint and the serial number I'd think this is likely either a helmet issued to him post WWII or at the very least refurbished post WWII. It's still a nice set, especially if the price was right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntssurplus Posted November 23, 2019 Share #6 Posted November 23, 2019 These subdued rank insignia were very common during the Korean War. I own one myself, and there have been multiple posted on the forum. Great helmet! Thanks for sharing!Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiques Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted November 23, 2019 Thanks Costa, Nick and Hunt-- appreciate the quick response and the great information. I was able to find the guys grave (Columbia, SC), but it didn't have any military annotations. I guess my best bet is to research him to get his full story in WW2 and Korea. Thanks again.
