patches Posted December 11, 2021 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2021 Found this one that was sold awhile back, no idea on the unit insignia, also the actual unit, note it says TANK GROUP with no number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejstuczko Posted September 21, 2022 Share #2 Posted September 21, 2022 My father was a tanker in Korean War, two tours. Check out ejstuczko flickr- one page has photo of tankers with helmets similar to these but more WWII era. There is an photo of inspection of tank crew, helmets laid out are similar those from era.

bbmilitaria Posted September 23, 2022 Share #3 Posted September 23, 2022 The paint on this one was done recently by a local artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbmilitaria Posted September 25, 2022 Share #5 Posted September 25, 2022 I personally know the artist and he did around six of these helmets with different units painted on. The way he paints letters is like a fingerprint. I'm sure Doyler would confirm also. I have an example from the series he painted as they were pretty cheap when he was selling them and he is a quality artist. He sells them as reproductions, but the people who follow, not so much.

Thanks for the information, I figured that was the case. It's a shame they get relisted as originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
