easterneagle87 Posted December 6, 2021 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2021 Recent pick up. Inside heat stamp reads: D/F 93 The is a symbol, off set on the front, on the left side. A squarish, possible grayish patch with an "H" written. Just an odd mark or possible meaning? Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aef1917 Posted December 6, 2021 Share #2 Posted December 6, 2021 It's 80th Division. 318th Infantry Regiment I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, The background color to the "H" is actually a white square for the 2nd Battalion. It appears to be discolored due to age from what I can see.

easterneagle87 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted December 7, 2021 I saw it, picked it up and walked away due to condition. I went to have a conversation with another picker who is not a forum member -but I'm trying to get him involved. Went back and left again. Started thinking about a project I had in mind and went back to ask. He said a Jackson so it was a no brainer. I didn't even see the mark until I got home and looked at it today.

easterneagle87 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted December 7, 2021 Here was the first one I saw yesterday that I've posted as a separate topic under "Rough M17" or something to that effect, Interesting with writing on it, but a lot of rust and initially quote at $95 and his comment - "A real combat helmet, it must have some real stories behind it". I passed but took a picture. Went back towards the end of my time wandering around, but didn't remember which row he was on so I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
