Named Fixed Loop Major's Helmet with Hawley Liner

[anton67]

I picked this one up on ebay.
The Hawley is not a mint condition helmet but I like it just the same.
It is clearly a matched set.
I am sure a few of you saw it.
I think the stamp says:

Major Walter S. Jones F.A.

Hq. Wisconsin Military A__

559 Federal Building

Milwaukee Wisconsin

We also found this article from the Ironwood Daily Globe from Ironwood, Michigan
August 1, 1945 on NEWSPAPER.com

Major Walter Jones, executive officer at the Chicago induction center for the past two years, arrived last night to take command of the Milwaukee induction station. He succeeded Major Edward R. Wagnwr, who died Friday at the station

Hopefully I can find more info on him.

Looks like a nice set, well done!
coincidently I have one with a heat stamp 102C, could have been made the same week, you never know. I take it there is dimples on the rim between the bales.
Best regards

Oh, I forgot to post that I identified the Major.
