stealthytyler Posted March 20, 2020 Share #7 Posted March 20, 2020 Nice helmet. The only R.W. Kohne that comes up in a muster search is Robert William Kohne from Indiana. Makes sense as you are not far from where he passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoudoirCommando Posted March 20, 2020 Share #13 Posted March 20, 2020 That's a great front-seam M1 mate, extra special that you have the story behind it as well, seems like he saw a fair bit of the world during his life. Is the heat stamp 048? If so this website has it listed as 01/1942 production. http://ghost.treaders.free.fr/identification_casque.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
