I believe they are US Army WW2 MUKLUK Boots…I once had a pair which I sold to a 10th Inf Div collector 

Whoops. Sorry bout that. I'm newer to helmets. 

This can't be from 1943 as helmet shells with a seam on the rear were made starting in late 1944. Also that post is about a helmet shell made by McCord. The estimated time frame for lot numbers from McCord can't be used for dating shells made by Schlueter as Schlueter started making shells later than McCord (1943) so lot numbers from Schlueter from the same time as those from McCord are much lower.    https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/227663-rough-schlueter-helmet-date-configuration-chart/

Here’s a neat buckle. Bob the Fighter Pilot.       

A big thank you to iron bender, Bodes, KurtA and Mr.jerry.  Appreciate you all taking the time to weigh in with great information.   -Bill-   Post Script  -- That is a great thumbnail pic for the Green Bay Packer stahlhelm Mr.jerry

The vet was Walter Futterman.  the dog tag reads "WALTER FUTTERMAN 32246667 T43  43 A    H".

According to this post: It was made around March of 1943

It's a nice KW pack now all you need is find the lower and straps. I cobbled together a 1945 dated M45 rig. The war ended before they were issued. I also cobbled together a 1944 dated M44 pack that had not been modified. Happy hunting!

Oh how I miss the Gordons. It was nice getting to meet you and get what I think I remember was the second copy of your book on US soil. I grew up across town from them and dealt with them many times before they moved to Bainbridge. I'll never forget seeing their new property clearly in a flood plain. "I checked and there hasn't been a flood here in decades," Tom said. Least than a year later, that spot was under almost ten feet of water. I loved doing the drawings for their catalogs in exchange for trade credit. It was fun to draw essentially what I wanted so long as it didn't suggest violence (Sharon shot down a few of my 'action' drawings). One of these days I will compile a book of those drawings and the WW2 reenactor cartoons I did around the same time. But it was amazing, walking down the aisles and picking whatever I was looking for. I tell new people in the collecting hobby about those days.  I do miss that, so much...

I appreciate the information.   Thanks!
