If my eyes arent playing tricks I would say thats a castle that has had the turrets and feet removed.

 

I take it you dont have it in hand?

 

Sure want to see close ups of the insignia on the steel pot.

I think you nailed it - helmet came from Luzerne county

Question on the liner: Does it actually have ‘SC’ stamped in paint up in the crown..? I have one like this (painted OD on the inside) and it doesn’t have a stamp......

Great addition to any collection.

A beautiful helmet with great insignia.

Agreed with others, looks like an engineer helmet with castles shaved off. Can't wait to see more pics!

Nice helmet. You see alot of the WWII engineers helmets that have their names on them.

Thanks Gents

I’ll post more when it arrives in 2 weeks time, then I can photograph the insignia better for you all.

 

Thanks again members for all your help

I wonder why he painted over the castle turrets leaving a rectangle?....very interesting....mike

Very interesting Mike

A friend said that during operations some insignia could have been adapted for a certain operation etc.

A possibility I suppose.

Ill know more when it arrives.
