heady506th Posted December 5, 2009 Share #61 Posted December 5, 2009 Funny I own this helmet and I am in the 320th.... nice! Wondered what those D's meant.DB This is what it looks like in my collection now and a few other 50's era helmets I have. 508th RCT 320th Helmet for D Battery 188th PIR 501st liner from the 101st around 1956-57 named to a Officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heady506th Posted December 6, 2009 Share #62 Posted December 6, 2009 :thumbsup: Very Nice LIds!! I especially like your 188th Airborne Infantry-something about that bugle. Thanks for the pics-did you snatch that off ebay? These are underappreciated postwar, painted helmets that will make a nice collection all by themselves! I look forward to when the helmet identification chart finished. That will be an invaluable resource! jpstout With the exception of the 508th lid all the other Helmets came local from the surrounding area near Fort Campbell.

jpstout Posted January 9, 2010 Share #64 Posted January 9, 2010 Here is a helmet currently on EBAY for $6,500.00. I assume it is postwar, and perhaps '50s, but I have never seen this design. Can anyone orient me as to time period? jpstout WWII US MARINE CORPS PARATROOPER DELTA HELMET VERY RARE - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Posted October 5, 2010 Share #73 Posted October 5, 2010 Hi Mike,If you don't mind, I'll use your color chart to get started: N°1: couldn't find in the 1955 yearbooks, ID???? N°2:idem... N°3:3rd Bn/187th Airborne Infantry, definitely confirmed for th 187th ARCT. N°4:511th Airborne Infantry N°5: could be for the 511th Signals N°6: unidentified arty unit N°7: ???? N°8:11th QM Parachute Maintenance Co N°9:188th Airborne Infantry Hello, Does it mean that -- according to this system -- the helmet from below KW era pic belongs to the 2nd Bn/187th RCT?

sgtdorango Posted October 15, 2010 Share #74 Posted October 15, 2010 Hello, Does it mean that -- according to this system -- the helmet from below KW era pic belongs to the 2nd Bn/187th RCT? Regards Greg Yes, i believe you are correct, 2nd Bn with the two lines...although i wonder if there is any official documents about these 187th KW helmet markings?... :think: ...mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtdorango Posted November 14, 2010 Share #75 Posted November 14, 2010 Heres a few more unidentified tac marks found in early 11th AB 50s era (50-52) yearbooks...three dark painted horizontal lines seen on the paratrooper's helmet with mountain lion mascot and the machinegunner seems to have a white circle like the 503rd with two or three horizontal lines through circle, very hard to see in photo but more clear when looking at the yearbook in hand.... :think: ...mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
