Here is a Army shirt currently up on PoshMark that clearly shows the imprint/fading of a previously sewn Armor patch above the left pocket.   

Melvill and Coghill fought the good fight

WWII production Swivel bail with Korean war liner.   Typical post-war mixed bag of WWII, Korea, and early Vietnam accessories. These would of been worn all the way up to the 1980's until the M1 was replaced by Kevlar Jerry helmets.

Reminds me of UN Peacekeeper helmets. We used to have these here all over in Canadian surplus shops - the same light blue color with some having white 'UN' markings, while some were unmarked.   Pat

Amazing helmet and grail piece for sure! I rarely come by the forum but this one definitely had my eye.   It's so rare to see the same helmet being worn in theatre, many don't realize the significance of this. Wish some of the old members were able to see this, there was always a big hunt for helmets with period worn photos.   Pat  

What say you? Winter cammo or kids football helmet?

What do you guts think? Late war features all through. It was painted very carefully as there are no runs inside or paint on the chinstrap. Am I remembering correctly that aircraft carrier deck crews wore different colored helmets depending on their station? It's not the usual darker blue that I would expect to see on a Navy helmet.

I have a French saddle that was the property of Colonel Demuth, West Point graduate of 1917 and stayed in the Army through WW2. It was also rebuilt at JQMD in 1929. With it came all of the accessories, French made, to include the bridle. It is known as a Samur saddle.

Out-of-LIKEs thumbs up👍. I can only imagine how excited that doggie was when the sailor came home. My granddoggies nearly knock me over and lick my face off of they haven’t seen me in over a day.  mikie
