blademan Posted June 17, 2023 Share #1 Posted June 17, 2023 Greetings, Not sure if i've posted this helmet before. I got this from the vets family 10 or 15 years ago. My nicest souvineer helmet. I have the vets info who brought this back somewhere. No liner. Sorry dont have other pics available at this time. I hope you like it Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe i was told that some enterprising artist collected the helmets off the battlefield and sold them to departing US soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
