blackhawkdown Posted April 8, 2009 Share #262 Posted April 8, 2009 I just got this helmet this past week from a local fellow. I came from an estate of someone whose wife had worked for my grandfather 40 years ago. It is a 91st. I have not seen one on the forums like this one, anyone have one like it?

D.A.T. Posted April 8, 2009 Share #270 Posted April 8, 2009 This is not a painted helmet, but another "scratched in", when I first got it, I thought some kid destroyed a nice helmet, but it's original. Looks like a buck sgt. tried to scratch a Quartermaster emblem on it, then the the U on the left side, and a backwards S on the right side.

blackhawkdown Posted April 9, 2009 Share #271 Posted April 9, 2009 Helmet Guy, Thanks for that info, the helmet really puzzled me, it did come from a fellow in Company M 103rd! I thought it was something differant. Where did you find out it was a 103rd marking? Dan H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
