I well know the excitement of an intriguing new find and jumping to conclusions. I’ve had them turn out both ways, right and wrong. I hope any new info bears you out. There is nothing like a fist-pumping “YES!!!” when it all works out. Or the terrible crash to earth when it doesn’t. There is good advice here about being cautious with making assumptions. At the same time, I admire your enthusiasm for the hobby. Good luck!  mikie

I also have the early gauntlets.  Robert      

Thank you, yep the Wife really loves these seats😂😂😂

You can try University Products, but they are expensive since they specialize in archival supplies for museums and other places that conserve/preserve items.   Leigh    

I am looking to find a true value for this Garand bayonet.  I have been offered $125 and have seen values from $450-$1,250.  Just looking for something realistic.  Thank yo for any help yo might be able to offer.

Name of museum?

WOW! What a great writeup in 'findagrave'!  Excellent find!

I think you have a winner! Its adding up!  The story from the relatives, and the Mans full name being the key. Maybe at some point write it all down, everything you find out ... names etc etc Document it. verbal stories you've been given by his relatives etc and keep it with the helmet. An in country worn helmet is rare and one worn by a Native American Man is I would think even more rare.. ?   And please if you can, find a US liner for it! Just for the sanctity of it lol  

. Hi Scarecrow.   Found another one if you want another project . . . . . . . . . . .     cheers lewis.   ...
