Re: Unusual
I've been wondering if any variations like chicken wire or netted oversprays exist for M1's. I won't comment on the legitimacy of this one since I'm unfamiliar with American helmets and paints.
Re: Unusual
Yeah.....Diamondback if I recall.

Re: Unusual
Netted over sprays definitely, though very, very rare. Chicken wire I have never seen, would most likely draw friendly fire for obvious reasons. Unless somebody out there knows different.......

Re: Unusual
this was discussed on another forum Need oppinions on a 517th lid - U.S. Militaria Forum
Re: Unusual
The thing is with this listing, is that if you read the description the seller is saying all the right things. Caretaker, rather than owner, etc. He really does sound like a collector. As a juxtaposition, he has 0 feedback.
Odd.
