They come up for sale on eBay fairly frequently, especially the post-war French army bags (which are essentially identical to the US bags except for the markings inside the top flap).  I may have one that I could sell you.  (I'll check to see what I have in my spares / surplus to needs.)  However, I suspect that postage to NZ might make the total cost unreasonable.

Welcome to the forum Ted.   Whats the story behind the airborne PH group?   Peter

I believe 1895 to 1902.  

Very nice! I have the same art by Larry Selman of the Rangers at Pointe du Hoc.

I could not find a category for ww2 headgear. This is a USMC Pith Helmet from 1942, I am guessing from Solomon Islands. Can anyone identify Pvt Barber?  Pvt M.AA Barber (Mike) PLT 9601 dated 10-13-1942. Label Manufacturer dated, March 23, 1942 International Hat Company. This is an iconic example of the helmet produced by this company during WW2.

Aprox what years around was used this example? Thanks again

Looks good!  Common to find state buttons on these.  Sometimes a particular state would also have it’s on style hat badge, but evidently Minnesota utilized the Federal style badge.  Which is good, from a value standpoint.   Cops with a Federal style eagle are much more in demand than state caps.   Really nice cap! 

Managed to snatch this one, may have overpaid a little. 1970s era McCord M1 helmet, named to a Major Carlton.    Enjoy!

Dear Folks  Just I wonder to know your thoughts with this M-1895 US ARMY OFFICER forage cap,is a period one including Army badge and could someone from you explain to me if those buttons from Minnesota NG to attatch chinstrap are correct instead the ones with Army shield on them and is this NG buttons under regulations???     Thank in advance    Fernando     

. WWII Shrapnel Damage London Tate Gallery Museum.   A London Jeeping friend provided me with these photographs he took last week while visiting the exhibition at the Tate Gallery. There are numerous buildings in London with remnants of the damage caused during the bombing in WWII, some damage is even known to be left from WWI Zeppelin bombing raids.        Norman D.
