All American Division, 27 days in Combat Sectors, Insignia approved October 1918.

One can see that these helmets were painted by the same hand. Most Battalions /Companies had couple of soldiers that specialized in painting helmets.
It is worth to notice that this same helmet that got painted after the War, was more than likely worn by that soldier during the Conflict.

I would say that your examples krakow1 easily equal if not eclipse those in the painted steel book, they are amazing. Thank you for sharing them.
