Yea I got it for 50 at a flea market so should I just toss it or is it worth anything and I didn’t scrape it so was I scammed -

Yup thats a McCord made helmet. Oval crimps. If you scrape the paint off the heat numbers, its lessens the value of the helmet. -

The catches for securing the pins are different. I think just different makers. If it is a replaced ribbon, that would explain two different brooches. -

ATC Thank you! I was thinking it was an "A" in the circle. But you are spot on its a "W" and "H" overlayed on one another. I should have recognized it is similar to the W&H HM on their plastic pins -

Both of the medals that you are showing have a slot brooch. I frankly do not see a difference between the two brooches other than one has a fair amount of discoloration and patina where the other doesn't show the age that the first does. One thing that I do notice is that the maroon on the first ribbon drape is much darker than the second, so it is possible that the second medal has had the drape replaced, but that is just speculation. I do not have any heartburn with either of the medals being identified as original, vintage strikes. Allan -

*sigh* another helmet ruined by a "heat lot archeologist...." Obviously real. Obviously repainted over it's life, and sadly it was named too. Now forever wrecked. -
