The only WW1 marine helmet I can afford. Bought this from a friend for a nominal fee. Appears to have a 3rd battalion, 5th marines insignia on it. No national treasure but I will squeeze it somewhere.

Neat item and as a collector with a dozen WWI Marine helmets I would display this in my room. Do you think the writing inside denotes a 1937 date? For whatever reason the 3/5 painted helmets are tough to find. Kevin

Looks lke PC '39 to me.

That is truly awesome!....i want one!....mike

P.C. 39 is on the inside. Initials of artist and year made? Weird it is 1919-1939 dated. Thanks for the comments. I thought it was cool too.
