Usmc2004 Posted July 23, 2021 Share #6 Posted July 23, 2021 Not to try and hijack this thread but has anyone ever come across an actual 101st Airborne Mp helmet? Similar to the one in this picture? Sorry for the small photo but it was a small photo I tried to zoom in as best as I could. This photo is out of my Great Uncles photo album.

For the shockingly low price of only $8,000 you can have a helmet sort of close to the one in your picture.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted July 27, 2021 Share #10 Posted July 27, 2021 I think the helmet in the picture (the real one) is in fact just the liner. Most MP's ( and constabulary) I have spoken with said that they were not allowed to wear the steel helmet unless in a combat area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratasfan Posted July 27, 2021 Share #11 Posted July 27, 2021 Just to add to Mr.Jerry's thought there . . . the famous LIFE cover showing a Constabulary Sgt shows his (fabulous) liner . . . Makes sense why it is common to see liners and not pots for the Constabulary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are correct that it is just the liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken88 Posted July 28, 2021 Share #13 Posted July 28, 2021 Not sure about when or where this one was taken, but I'm guessing Market Garden given the variety of uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
