Hi ya guys! I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking for a T-39 Chest Unit to complete my SCR-511 Radio Set. fI you happen to have one you'd be willing to sell, or if you know (or even think you know) of one that is (or might be) for sale, please let me know.  I'm willing to pay a fair market price (depending on condition and completeness), so I'm not asking for something for nothing. Picture from the TM to illustrate (just in case you're not familiar with it, or maybe you have one collecting dust and didn't know what it was). Happy collecting!

Yep, Bryan is a good friend of mine. We've put on joint displays, with his military photographer collection and my civilian correspondent collection...

Thanks a lot for your response! The liner it's a Westinghouse model

Wry neat. Congratulations.

Hello To the finder of these items.  Thank you for sharing.  Are these items still for sale?     Victor I. Chinlund was my paternal Great Grandfather "Grampa Vic."  and he was indeed very proud of his country and of his service.  I have only recently begun conducting family research on the Chinlunds, all of whom had deep roots in Chicago and the Chicago area since the 1870s.   Picured here are Victor and first wife Elsie, and his second wife Pearl (Elsie had died many years earlier) Pictured with my mom, myself and my two sisters at the Chinlund's Lincolnwood home during the summer of 1967 shortly before they moved to Florida where thy died.   Also picured is Granpa Vick's Harrington Richardson break barrel pistol(5 cylinder), I think it's a 32 caliber, needs restoration.  Date stamped on barrel is April 7, 1896.   Question for the Forum:  Would this pistol have been issued to Victor when he was promoted to Seargent?  I would not think he was issued a sidearm like this as a 17-year-old volunteer infantryman.  I'm not sure if he remained in cuba during the occupation, though if he was, perhaps it was issued then?  Thank you for sharing any insights on this topic. I will sharee more about the Chinlund's military service when I find out more.     Reid M. Johnson   Reid     With reference to the WW II uniform, these are my late Aunt Nancy's notes (granddaughter of Victor). Joseph, the eighth Chinlund child, born in 1886, married Emmy. He joined the army where he died in 1918, probably of influenza during the big epidemic. They had two sons, Daniel and Joseph, both of whom served in World War Il in Italy, where Joe lost a leg.    

Very nice.

Not a disaster helmet.   A nice WWII production fixed bail with original WWII factory chinstraps still sewn on. Yes, it has been repainted at some point (likely post-war) but there is still original WWII cork underneath the overpaint. The liner is a mid WWII production with OD A-washers - are you able to see the liner maker stamped inside the dome?   The leather liner chinstrap is Euro Clone. Can't tell the sweatband but it looks to be missing the leather strip.   Overall a nice starter set - just get a WWII helmet net and you're good to go.   Pat
