Photo gleaned out of a posting on Craigslist/Grass Lake , Michigan Ad Description: Unfortunately, the team isn’t identified, but I’m pretty sure that it’s from the western part of Michigan. Since the photo shows the team flanked by what looks to be an army sergeant with barracks in the background. I’m guessing that this might be from the Ft. Custer (built in 1917( baseball team. I could be wrong, and please correct me if I am. The patches on the uniforms all say 3508, but above it is the individual player’s signature. I’m also guessing that the uniforms could then be used with only the patches being swapped out.   

Finally, Here is James R. Miller (1924-1979), and I was able to confirm it was him via using the address provided (164 Gardens Street) and the 1940 census. Attached is his PA Vet compensation form (sorry for quality)   Hope this helps!

This is a correct D bail. If you look hard you will see the white thread on the chin strap showing at the D. What you are showing is not a Westinghouse liner. The yokes are different, and the snaps on the D are shinny. It's a different bird. 

Thanx P-59, no problem  -   always interesting to look at those vintage documents, I find them fascinating.   RWW, thanx very much,  yes sure the MD-1 retention system was used in fair measure some time earlier than summer 1958. I read time ago the thing was under evaluation in early 1957, nothing less, so I figured out the later part of that year was reasonably a correct time to see the item in operational use; and in fact, a Navy APH-5 that I got time ago being upgraded this way showed those chromed receivers in late 1957 when worn by a Skyray pilot.   Matter is, what surprised me of the above video is the 1956 date that if correctly meant within the context, brings the dummy's helmet not later than the interview and this apparently would bring the said receivers to early 1956. Unless the date is only for the interview in itself, and possibly the other footage have been added later on    -     just to offer a more generic view of how those trials looked like?

Love that wolf scout patch-- didn't know that existed. 

Wow! without provenance? Walk away. The liner is not 100 percent correct, but that can be fixed. Even at that it's way too much for the liner alone. It took me years to find a correct WW2 and KW M1C liner with helmet. Finding a correct D bail is even harder. A buddy found the correct Inland liner and that alone sold for over 3 grand. 

Now this next fellow is a little interesting.   James S Curtis (1919-1963) seems to have started in Company G, but, I guess sometime in 1945, was transferred to his final destination of Company B, 424th Infantry Regiment.   attached is his bronze star citation mentioning his company G service and his homecoming mention

Look at this helmet from  the Airborne Museum at St. Mere Eglise. It appears this d-bail and the helmet in question have the same shell chin straps. You can even see the green thread sewed near the bail.

The patch Arlyn is showing is for the 127th Fighter Wing, not the 107th TFS.

This is my front seam manganese rim fat buckle Westinghouse M1C. Notice the white thread on the A yoke and chin strap. This is correct for late WW2. Period photo's show this type helmet as being used in Operation Varsity.
