ETO camo helmet

I took a break from my Chaplain helmet collecting and purchased this woodwork helmet. 

The helmet is named to:

Lt. Col Enoch J. Scalan

35th Division 

134th Infantry Regiment 1st Batt. HQ

XII Corps Provost Marshal 

 

The Helmet is a Fixed Loop McCord with a early inland liner. The liner has some initials on the webbing and are different from the Lt. Col  but the wear pattern on the liner matches the inside of the helmet and the dent in the top of the helmet matches the markings on the top of the liner.

Beautiful helmet Marty, congratulations! Am I seeing things or is there a second oak leaf underneath the camo?

 

Good eye!!!! he was a major in 1941. I will look at the helmet this afternoon when I get home.

You are correct there is something else under the Lt. Col painted insignia.

Definitely looks like another oak leaf! Wonder if it was painted on when he was a major or if it's another Lt. Col. insignia that was done before the camo.

 

Either way, absolutely killer lid!

Dean, the colors look to match, that’s a great looking camo. I hate when we have to use the term “I used to own” LOL.

Thanks Marty the colors really are the same - yes this one has gone to another caretaker.
