max0073 Posted September 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 23, 2020 Hello, I have had this helmet for ages and would like to know if the use of pencil is a common practice. Facts - Shell: - fixed bail - repainted at some point - on the new paint : the 30th ID insignia drawn with pencil and a capital G - under the paint, a NCO bar on the rear - inside the shell, a name : Fred Simon who appears as a staff Sergeant in the HQ Co (117/1st/Hq) - liner: - same insignias, but this time the 30th ID was made using what I believe is a rubber stamp Has anyone ever seen this practice ? Thanks, Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Hazard Posted September 24, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 24, 2020 Nice helmet max, really liking the over painted NCO bar on the back. Looks like the 30th ID insignia was going to be painted but got aborted, it does look like correct size. Example below from M1 Helmet Depot.
