WWI PAINTED HELMETS

One of these days, I'll have an armored 17 in my collection. These are sure nice!

My 2/5 Marines. Smooth finish. Someone lacquered it. No liner, but a very nice, clean 2ID insignia. Have seen this same hand on others. (I would love to swap this for a 1/5 if anyone is interested. My grandfather served in both 2/5 and 1/5, but a 1/5 is what he would have owned as that's the unit he was with in late '18-19.)

Look at the helmet I just picked up from AGM... they must have been painted by the same hand....

Love yours and the gasmask bag.

Complete with liner and chinstrap, top of the helmet has what looks to be an incised wagon wheel(?).
