Very nice 27th Div...(O'Ryan/Orion Div.) I am sure you will display it with pride.

Hi Steve yes I will . This is my second 27th helmet but this one has a name behind it. Gary
Re: WW1 painted US lid
Very nice! Does your neighbor have a photo of his father during the war? Even a copy would really enhance the helmet display.
Re: WW1 painted US lid
He said he had some at one time but cant find them at this time. But when he does he said I could make copiesGary

Very nice New York Division lid and it even has provenance. You certainly can't ask for more than that unless you got it for free, which is what it sounds like you did! Congrats!
