Local antique store find today. Generic white helmet, I assume MP, Late war, fat head since sweat and attached to nape. My question is, is the reflector tape not military? Wondering if I should try to take it off? Looks like it has been on there a long time.

I’d leave the tape, probably was added to keep it secure in a steel pot.   I would, however, pop the sweatband to make sure it doesn’t rip through the canvas, looks really tight right now but could be the photo.

Ok thanks, I will leave it.

Since the 8 digit serial number starts with a 5 does that mean the previous owner served after WWII?

I don’t know if the five would indicate it, but the “US” in front certainly does.  I believe it indicates service in the reserves but I could be mistaken.
