Those are the correct R-14 receivers used in both the tankers and AAF helmets, the change in plug colour from black (PL-54) to red (PL-354) was down to the change from 2000 ohm high impedance R-14 receivers to the 600 ohm low impedance by the AAF and Navy. The high impedance receivers carried on being used by armoured crews with the use of an adapter (MC-385) until the newer types completely filtered through the supply lines.    You'll want to get hold of a T-30-V Throat Mic or T-45 Lip mic and a SW-141-V push to talk for a complete set up, I cant remember the name of the hand held microphone T-17? But thats another option.      That's how I have always understood it when I looked into it when looking at picking up a few headsets but I'm sure ill be corrected somewhere.

I have a few on the inside, thru have found me some amazing things.  My other estate lady just found me a Panzer tank compass,  I’ll post it in spoils of war shortly 

Thank you! Yeah the guy on Facebook assumed all anchor marked stuff was post ww2/vietnam. All he had to do was look at a reference book. Thanks!

Hi all,   I picked up these receivers at a show today for a decent price compared to other vendors. Anyway I was wondering if this is the correct type of receivers for the M-1938 Tanker Helmet?   If my research is correct there were two types of R-14 receivers. One with a longer cord and the shorter 13 inch cord. Besides that one type also had the screws in the receivers while the other didn't. Furthermore it's considered that a red PL-54 plug was used for the Army Air Force. With all the information at hand, I believe these to be the "HS-18 Headset with R-14 Receivers". And so, correct for a M-1938 Tanker Helmet?   Thanks for any input!

You shouldn’t bid on items unless you are sure what you are buying.   Good god you that you cancelled but not fair to seller 

Looks good. The anchor is a maker symbol and nothing to do with Navy. Nice looking helmet 

It is M2 Ball, corrosive and appears to be in nice condition.   The value would be about one or two dollars.  For example, a 10 second search on Gunbroker shows this 20 round unopened box of M2 Ball for sale at $39.99 opening bid.  That would be $2 per round.   This ammunition is not scarce.  During WW2 Lake City made billions of rounds of .30 caliber ammunition.  Indeed, in 1944 it has been reported that LC was making 4,000,000 rounds per day.   Hope that helps you.   Regards, Charlie
