Greetings all. I scored this helmet tonight.

Although I know its from the 35th division, I cannot decifer whats left of the makings to nail down a possible sub unit.

it was fairly priced and the more I looked at it the more it grew on me. Any and all help and comments negative or positive would be very much appreciated.

At the very begining I thought maybe it was a faker of some kind. At the end I believe its a genuine article unit insignia, whats left of the cammo paint and all.

But I dont really honestly know. And thats where all the experts , all you great forum members come in to fill in the blanks.

I thank you.

 

Cheers.

Looks like 138th Infantry Regiment to me, but the light green overpaint makes it kinda hard to tell for sure.

137 or 138? The Wiki for the 35th has a breakdown of the unit markings.

Thanks guys. So its an over painted helmet ?

 

Is that why the insignias look so strange?

 

Thank you.
