    Hello guys , this is one of my favorite helmets , i picked it up a few months back and as i do with all my new pieces gave it a real good look over .While studing it closely i saw some words scratched in the paint on the side of the helmet , i got a maginifing glass and was stunned at what it read
    He got sgt
    And he got corp
    But we got him

    Raymond, you have excellent collecting interests. This is the most incredible helmet that I have ever seen. To have that history scratched into the surface is just phenomenal!! I am very jealous (but in a good way )

    Raymond, What a find, if you could link up Pvt. or Pete Rosen with the 131 st it would be incredible. Would be great to hear how you make out. You can go so many ways with this one. Good Luck, John

    Fantastic helmet.
    Judging from the number of holes in it, they made sure
    that they really "got him".
