Thanks to all for the great welcome. It is nice to find a place with people that will help. I have been burned with some fakes and finding a place like this gives me a little reassurance about what to by.

Welcome dtener! That is a real beauty you have picked up there.$35 is a real steal,and you have the guys history to go with it too(all important).As for whether it is a pre pearl harbour lid or not i could not say for sure but i would say it is more likely to be from just after that date as most US helmets at that time were the converted WW1 types.
