Liking the 3D effect with the shadowing. A pretty hip Chaplain.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

This is a I believe to be a Vietnam Era used helmet. The helmet is a WW2 McCord swivel loop helmet that was reissued post war with sand texture and green Metal clip chinstrap possibilities late Korean War. The chinstrap has a field repair. The cross is painted
This helmet was named but was recently caught up in a incident and the name was removed and another name was added and the original liner was replaced with a bogus chaplain liner. The helmet was added to a chaplain grouping but the fraud came to light and I was able to acquire both the helmet and grouping to stop at from being pasted off again as a chaplain grouping.
The fake name was removed and the history of the helmet has now been retained.
Enjoy this nice helmet.

Captain CH Werner Anthony Rauh. 4/15/1904-2/17/1959. Rev Werner served as a Army Chaplain from 1942-1946. He served with the 9th Army AirCorp and the 466th truck Reg.
The helmet is a plain Jane fixed loop McCord helmet with early cast brass buckle and early pointed J hook with a Westinghouse liner with Captain bars on the front. He named is written on the sweatband and inside the helmet.

This guy is hard to research without paying Golden Arrow Research. Trying to find out if this is possibly a D-day Chaplain, he was with the 466th Truck Reg. And I’m not sure which group but part of the 466th landed on D-day.

Nice looking helmet Marty. Interesting that he didn't put a Chaplains cross on it.
