Joe Kravets Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted August 14, 2020 Been having a hard time finding references of real ones on the forum. Most seem to turn out to be air force ones. I try to do the research on my own but still not quite sure on this. Would appreciate some opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken88 Posted August 14, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 14, 2020 I'll go out on a limb and say this is an authentic paratrooper chin cup. The leather looks okay, not completely sure about the chamois but if it's a reproduction I want one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted August 14, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 14, 2020 I don't know either way, but here's the J Murray repro for comparison; https://jmurrayinc1944.com/products/paratrooper-helmet-leather-chin-cup-brown-painted?_pos=1&_sid=bba67ddb1&_ss=r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Kravets Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted August 14, 2020 Thank you guys for your thoughts. Maybe someone else has one of these that is the same. I don't have any of the De Trez books to look and see if there is one in there that looks similar. Airborne is not my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
