      My dad was stationed at Camp Gordon in the very early 50s, just before the Korean War broke out.  I've attached two pictures, one of my dad (on the left) and a close up of the phone directory, which is in the upper left corner of the larger picture.

      Recreating the Fiber liner

      By mikie · Posted

      It would be a pity to ruin a good liner, so sacrificing a euro clone would be preferable if just a passable “don’t look too close” liner impression is what you want.  mikie

      Recreating the Fiber liner

      There is your problem. You need to start with a helmet liner that is shaped as close as possible to a Hawley as you can get. And a European clone ain’t it. The Hawley liner was shaped almost identical to the McCord pots. However I admire your effort and have enjoyed watching the progress. You are to be commended for your efforts.

      MILITARY FIRE DEPARTMENT Patches - Badges

      By rtd_sf_eng · Posted

      These badges were used post 1 December 1941, the date when the War Department transferred fire department, post utilities, construction, etc from the Quartermaster to the Corps of Engineers.  I had two badges, one from Camp Haan, CA, and Camp Robinson, AR, both were stamped "QMC".

      As issued the M-44 straps say M-44 on the strap as do the M-45 straps. The systems were made to use those straps. I'm not sure why yours has medical straps.

      Painted M1 helmet- trying to ID marking

      Jerry, I'm not sure about the rattle can stripes. It  seems to me those were brushed on. That whole rig looks like new paint to me. Lead test the paint.
