Here is Alfred B. Clever (1915-1986). Same as above in that we can’t exactly confirm his company, but attached is a record of him in the 112th being awarded the “Medic Badge”. Also attached is a picture of him -

Below is from seller: "In a very good condition an extreme hard to find version of the US WW2 M1 Paratrooper Helmet. The helmet shell is a stunning fixed bale, front seam helmet made by Mc Cord. The helmet shell comes with heatnumber 386A and is complete in the original paint. It has the ultra rare mid war period produced (between M2 and M1c) paratrooper straps with brass male snap fasteners that are original fabric applied and sewed! For some who think this was not produced see the book of Pieter Oosterman, 'The M-1 Helmet of the World War II GI'. Also these helmets were dug-up in the Market Garden dropzones in Holland. Inside the helmet shell is a stunning Westinghouse paratrooper liner present with both A-Yokes original attached and with complete ,not damaged, webbing. Attached to the westinghouse liner is a very nice leather chinstrap (reproduction but has a great look!) A very stunning real paratrooper fixed bale helmet that is more rare than the M2 D-Bale Helmet to find!!" -

Hi. I believe these are too crude to be sweetheart jewelry. Even low cost jewelry makers die struck their pins out of inexpensive materials and did not cast them. They are based on existing naval aviator pattern used as the casting die. It could be they are theater made but have they have no "tells" that would indicate from which theater. I would not put very much value on these as collectable wings IMO. -

This is precisely why many members here (including me) do not post their militaria. People can't seemingly discriminate between what is / is not a sale listing. -

First off, what is he asking for that rig? Second off, you are talking deep pockets for a D bail Inland rig. Those are hens teeth. -

Couldn't find exactly which company he was in, but we can almost assuredly assume it was Company G, but here is Bert F. Brenner (1919-2006) (Not Bresner 😉) -

I really appreciate the information. I am just going to walk away from this one. BUT.... In the future, what Para helmet should I be looking to purchase. Willing to drop some coin on it and only want to do it once. What should I be looking at and where? What on a D bail? Inland para liner? -

Here's a 1945 clipping from Nello Simonetti along with a, albeit not very good, photo of him.
