Combat! Was produced in the early 1960s and ran for 5 seasons. It followed an infantry squad from Omaha Beach on D-Day forward.  For the time, it strove for more realism that a TV budget and studio politics would permit. There was usually a weekly guest star who would cause complications for the squad. Some were overly dramatic but overall, it was and still is a pretty good hour of entertainment. While nitpickers would have a good time pointing out flaws, they did seem to make an effort to get details right. I spotted this bayonet on a promo for the show the other night.  mikie

As far as WW1 Camoflauged uniforms.. Snipers used them. Home made..

Thank you!...Kinda figured this would be the case....A CW, IW or SAW medal being rarer and thus more desirable.....Bodes

In remembrance.   Philippians 1:3 ESV  I thank my God in all my remembrance of you

I’ll add a few to the conversation. Have been collecting for 55 years. 

@Belleauwood I cannot seem to DM you (says user cannot receive messages) but I was hoping to be able to connect with you on a separate topic (not to hijack this thread, but I have no other means of communication, lol).

Most of the value depends on who it was issued to. 

I’ve identified the helmet as a P-3 type of US origin model. The hood is a little mystery. One source says it is an instrument flying training hood to go over the helmet. Another source claims it’s simply a survival gear hood with polarized glasses. It actually fits over the helmet as shown below. Visor must be removed first. Albeit with a tight fit over the nose.

I am not sure that is entirely correct....... Camouflage uniforms etc came about in a big way in WW1 and I think it was employed by the Germans at first... No it was the French...... This ai description leaves out the British WW2 Patterns..   From ai... and it goes on without pasting it all here.....   2. World War I and the Birth of "Camouflage" (1914 – 1918) The French Camoufleurs: WWI marked the beginning of organized camouflage. The French Army formed the first camouflage unit in 1915, enlisting artists, sculptors, and painters to conceal artillery, observation posts, and early aircraft. [1, 2, 3, 4] Trench Warfare: With the advent of trench warfare and deadly aerial photography, soldiers individually began painting their steel helmets in disruptive patterns to break up their silhouette. [1, 2] 3. The First Printed Uniform Patterns (1929 – 1945) Italian Telo Mimetico: The first widely issued patterned camouflage uniform was introduced by the Italian military in 1929. The M1929 pattern used green and brown blotches and served as the precursor to later woodland styles. [1, 2] German Splittertarn (Splinter Pattern): Germany introduced one of the earliest disruptive patterns in the 1930s, initially applying it to tent covers and ponchos before transitioning it to smocks. [1, 2] US "Frogskin" (1942): The United States saw its first widespread use of camouflage in 1942. Designed by civilian horticulturist Norvell Gillespie, the "frogskin" pattern featured a five-color jungle side and a three-color beach side. It was primarily issued to U.S. Marines in the Pacific Theater. [1, 2]
