Jeep with the 48th Armored Medical Battalion, US 2nd Armored Division, stop at a sign thanking them in Le Molay-Littry Normandy - July 4, 1944 LIFE Magazine Archives - Frank Scherschel Photographer WWP-PD    

Nice hat, but I think the punched snowflake vent makes this a model 1885. The 1883 had small brass screen vents.

I grabbed this for $15 today at a flea market. I am next to positive it’s a Vietnam era piece. But I did see some labeled online as m1944 that look just like this. So I wanted to make sure my guess on the date is correct as I only collect WWII. If it’s post war I may try to sell it and put the funds towards a wwii example. I don’t have any in my collection.

I bought a lot of items from Donna Wosk years ago and I met her at the ASMIC show in San Diago, CA.  She's an honest person to deal with and has great original stuff.

Details of the 1883 campaign hat.  "R. Rogers Co. D"  is written on the inside.    

No doubt USMC and a great looking helmet👍

Oh hey! Any idea who these markings were used by? 🤔 Probably coincidence, but still…  the closest to mine I’ve ever seen.    Good find. 

Welcome. For sure, these books are also for you ;)  

Reminds me of this helmet
