BOLO Posted July 26, 2020 Share #11 Posted July 26, 2020 if it's been in Hawaii since WW2, it probably was there during the attacks on PEARL HARBOR , it's well preserved. I would put together a PEARL HARBOR display with LIFE MAGAZINE and this helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOLO Posted July 27, 2020 Share #12 Posted July 27, 2020 This issue of LIFE MAGAZINE would look good on display with your M1917A1 helmet from Hawaii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben@HI Posted August 3, 2020 Share #17 Posted August 3, 2020 There are tons of 1917A1's out here but most are in absolutely horrible condition. I turned one down this weekend because it was more rust then helmet 😅. That's a beautiful helmet for Oahu. Nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
