Bugger hey! remember when these were common down here? Disposals couldn't get rid of them!!
As a matter of fact, I do! I can't think why they used to be so common here though. I also remember the cheap brodies that were all over shelves, but this makes sense!
Ahh I don't recall the brodies I must have missed out on that one down here over the Mexican border!!!! bugger!!!
Haha, don't worry I also missed out as I was just a kid. Distinctly remember a whole lot on the shelf though. This would have had to be the late 1980's. Maybe an old Army Reserve warehouse was recently cleared?
Sorry again David I figure to show closer shots of the brass chin strap screw & nut on mine for comparison! Haven't played with this one in a very long time!
Hey,,Thanks Rene.
A helmet I know very little about. Did not know about the bead signifying the WW1 style & non-beaded were the M26. Plus the liner mounting system is different. Fun to learn something new.
Thanks again for showing

Hello everyone,
this is a very interesting thread, I have some examples, but I wanted to add what I like best, it is an example with the paint that still seems to be the original one, khaki/ green color.
The badge is still of the WW1 type.
Regards
Roberto
Another minty example David. Very nice.
Hi folks, I had posted my Model 26 years ago here. It got a little bit of attention so I am re-posting photos on this thread. This one came out of a huge box at the Great War Store in Allentown PA (now closed) that was full of mostly US helmets. I was surprised to find it. It appears that it sat in a pile of helmets stacked on top of each other. NH
P.S. It has a brass chin strap "lug" as well.
