Costa Posted February 22, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2020 won off ebay last week and arrived today. more then I could ask for!!!! found in the vets estate the helmet is a fixed bail with the rank painted on front. vets initials are scratched into the paint BRH. in the pot is inked stamped (hard to see) his laundry number but, faintly his name and serial number can be seen. his initials are scratched into the liner and laundry number inked in the front behind the leather sweat band. storage wasn't that good for this lid but, thrilled to get it. the big surprise was his promotion document to 2ND LIEUTENANT IN 1924. but, best is the vets picture both items the seller didn't tell me about. GOOD THING COME WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
