And their service record? Meaning wouldnt they know if their relative was in Vietnam? And their relatives name? Right now as it stands... you have sort of an ID'd headband. You need more info to call it used in Vietnam.   Martys comment.... "Helmet and cover brought home from the guard unit more common. " I would agree.  

Do you have any information on your friends relative. Salty doesn’t translate to in country it could be a NG cover. More information on the vet is key.  Covers brought home more common than a helmet and cover.  Helmet and cover brought home from the guard unit more common.  Do you have close up pictures of the markings on the back of the cover? Its alway exciting to find a marked cover   Marty

Both were repainted and named to Capt Roy D Metcalf O-277096. They originally were Medical Chests No.1 and the other unnumbered. Anyone care to research the Captain?

Wow neat collection. Thanks for posting.

To me there is no doubt this helmet was worn in country, it is way to salty to have not been.

I have no clue, it’s just a bunch of tick markes in the shape of triangles.

Thanks for the compliments and likes.  I will be starting a new thread on my Civil War cavalry (Union) collection in the Civil War section soon. Robert  

Cover could have been in Vietnam, what is on the back of it?

Yep! Many good things come to an end….

Anyone have any thoughts? Maybe I posted this in the wrong place? Maybe recent finds might have been a. Better section…
