Usmc2004 Posted October 6, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 6, 2020 Just curious if anyone has seen something like this. Have not seen it in person yes but appears to be a large decal on front of helmet. Will add better pictures when I receive this in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted October 6, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 6, 2020 Very vintage Americana, but not a military insignia that I'm aware of. Incidentally, on my iPhone it's really easy to crop screenshots. Click Edit, select the cropping tool, drag the corners, save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usmc2004 Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted October 7, 2020 I know it’s not military insignia, just though maybe someone had seen something similar on a helmet. It is in decent shape, and is painted black with that large decal on the front. The paint looks like it has been on there for a long time there are a couple chips in it showing green underneath. Heat stamp is present but can’t make out the numbers, the chin straps look to be original to the helmet. Decent Craigslist find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattS Posted October 7, 2020 Share #5 Posted October 7, 2020 Still a nice find! I have a vintage Americana eagle that's similar above a doorway in my house. As Mike said, they were popular from the 1950s-1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
