Re: M42 Wire Basket Combat Vet
Hey Tom! I asked Paul at Lakesidetrader when I purchased this helmet if he had also received a belt with all the other stuff he acquired along with this helmet. There was no belt. Either it was given away a long time ago or the son of the vet decided to keep it? Your guess is as good as mine.
Paul and I were "guesstimating" that it might actually refer to the helmet's chinstrap, perhaps?
If I do ever get more info on that or the vet...I'll let you guys know!
Cheers!

Re: M42 Wire Basket Combat Vet
Hello,
It is a nice and unusual helmet. Thank you for sharing it.
The M42 is my favourite helmet.
Even if your chances to find a photo showing the very same helmet in wear are as thin as a rolling paper, i wish you the best of luck for your hunt...
thanks

Re: M42 Wire Basket Combat Vet
Rob,
I can't say this enough.. That is one sweet helmet! I am taking today off to go travel the countryside with my Wife and hopefully I'll stumble into a good deal on a piece of militaria. One can hope right?
Regards,
Joel

Re: M42 Wire Basket Combat Vet
You NEVER know Joel! That is so true! I always get a little excited when I hit small "mom and pop" antique stores - you never know what you'll find! Happy hunting buddy!
Glad you like the lid.....it's got lots of character!
Cheers!
