AustinO Posted May 18 Share #4 Posted May 18 The liner is mid to late 1950s. How much were they asking for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historycollector61 Posted May 18 Author Share #5 Posted May 18 It’s my friends he was asking 150. Would it be easy to remove the ranger insignia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted May 19 Share #6 Posted May 19 The shell is made by schlueter. So it's a WWII manufactured shell. The liner with OD #7 HBT webbing is from the 1950s and sweatband with nomenclature stamp on the inside facing of the sweatband is from the 70s or early 80s. It's a Frankenstein lid and for $150 I'd pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted May 20 Share #7 Posted May 20 That’s a bunch of work to remove that Insignia. I would suggest that you hold on to your money and another one will pop up. Ronnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoose Posted May 23 Share #8 Posted May 23 Hard pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugme Posted May 23 Share #9 Posted May 23 Sorry, but there just isn't $150 worth of helmet here and then you still have to remove that mess on the back. Save your money and find an unmessed with helmet in which all parts are from the same generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
