644td Posted September 25, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 25, 2020 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.

Costa Posted September 26, 2020 Share #18 Posted September 26, 2020 now that lid i love. a real trooper there. would love to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickman983 Posted September 26, 2020 Share #19 Posted September 26, 2020 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
