Bones Posted November 22, 2007 Share #77 Posted November 22, 2007 Thanks for the comments and submissions. Here are some of my 26th ID helmets. The majority of these I have traded for. The first one is of the 101st Infantry Regiment of the 26th ID. "I am not broke but you can see the cracks, you can make me perfect again. All because of you". U2 Jace, Tim, and Mike you will always be my buds. God's Blessings guys. " It's awful squatchy out here" Link to post Share on other sites
Bones Posted November 22, 2007 Share #78 Posted November 22, 2007 Here is my other 26th ID helmet. 102 Field Artillery Battalion. Made a trade for this one.

Bones Posted November 22, 2007 Share #79 Posted November 22, 2007 Here is my last one. The 102nd Infantry Regiment. I noticed on someone else's earlier post there is one just like this one only better color. This one is dark. I have scene one other of this style and they all have to have been painted by the same soldier. What do you think? "I am not broke but you can see the cracks, you can make me perfect again. All because of you". U2 Jace, Tim, and Mike you will always be my buds. God's Blessings guys. " It's awful squatchy out here" Link to post Share on other sites
Bones Posted November 22, 2007 Share #80 Posted November 22, 2007 This one came from the world's best garage sale. Not sure if the captains bar where orginially on the helmet but the patch is good. 91st ID. "I am not broke but you can see the cracks, you can make me perfect again. All because of you".

Bones Posted November 22, 2007 Share #83 Posted November 22, 2007 This helmet I purchased last year. It is dark and hard to read but above the crossed cannons it has 127 and below the cannons it has HQ. The 127 Field Artillery Regiment was part of the 35th ID in WW1.

Bones Posted November 22, 2007 Share #84 Posted November 22, 2007 This helmet appears to have a sawdust finish to it. No patch but I included it.

Bones Posted November 26, 2007 Share #92 Posted November 26, 2007 This 34th ID helmet is what they call a diary helmet.

Shenkursk Posted November 29, 2007 Share #97 Posted November 29, 2007 Here is my one and only camo helmet. 34th Division with arrow on left side. Very close to relic condition. Take a close look - that is a very interesting helmet! Has a 34th Division insignia on the front, and an 89th Division Engineer insignia on the side. Link to post Share on other sites
Bones Posted December 2, 2007 Share #98 Posted December 2, 2007 This brings us to the last of my helmets. They are all from the 89th ID which was a National Army Division which means they were full of draftees from all over Nebraska and Kansas. The first one is my newest purchase. This helmet was from a member of the 314th Motor Transportation Train. "I am not broke but you can see the cracks, you can make me perfect again. All because of you".
