USMC-RECON0321 Posted January 14, 2018 Share #751 Posted January 14, 2018 Troy, Nice looking one. Yea I was just so excited I found pictures. Had the helmet for 15 years, but when I first purchased the set none of those files existed on the internet. Regards the alignment. This one has it centered, as well as the 312 MG BN on the back centered as well. I wonder if that was certain Battalions that off centered? I know that would not surprise me if that was the reason why a certain proportion of them found are like that... Us Army folks as units are always trying to show our own "" colors in a way to set ourselves/units apart. -Peg6 Peg6, Thanks and I agree many different SOP's in the sub-units. That is a great helmet.

Pegasus6 Posted March 15, 2018 Share #761 Posted March 15, 2018 Love this thread. WWI helmets just have a very special touch to them... Its amazing to me that WWI shells don't go for as much as WWII shells... esp with names. -Peg Retired US Army Officer, OEF Vet, Collector, Owner Renewhistory https://www.renewhistoryrh.com/ https://www.facebook.com/RenewHistory https://www.instagram.com/renewhistoryrh/ Link to post Share on other sites
AustinO Posted March 15, 2018 Share #762 Posted March 15, 2018 Another 82nd. Drove 2hrs through an ice storm the night before leaving for the SOS to buy a near complete uniform grouping from a grandson. Gotta love craigslist. Helmet is nice and complete, I swear I just saw a similarly camouflaged one to the same regiment (326th) - but cant find it now. Interesting that the 82nd isn't squared up on the front.

Note Marines helmet with woman has EGA blotted out, helmet on Marine to right has EGA visible. Love to get one of these real helmets...
