6th.MG.BN Posted December 6, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2020 I know it's hard to make out the insignia/decal on the front of this M1C paratrooper helmet but I was hoping someone might have seen a similar one? It almost looks like it could be Corporal or Sargent stripes? One side still has some of the 82nd A/B division decal and the other has less of it. Helmet is late WWII/post rear seam s/b. Shell still sports it's WWII green cork/paint finish. Any ideas much appreciated. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I was hoping you would be the one person to maybe shed some light on the front marking. I know it's hard to say with what is left of the marking. The only thing I could think of for an 82nd. A/B side marked lid was rank on the front. Maybe someone else might have seen a similarly marked one? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
