Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Even if the helmet is reprinted, is it the correct color for ww2 ?
Dominick, please upload photos directly to the forum instead of using photobucket.
It looks like you are after an original WWII M1 helmet. Please read through these threads:
Rough guide to the US M-1, M-2 & M-1C shell
Rough guide to the US M-1 liner & makers
Reference web sites & Books
M1 helmets Cork Vs Sand
When you are done, you should have a good idea of what to look for!
When you've had a real crappy day!!!!!!there's nothing like com'in on the old WRF forum for the comedy hour with good old DOM.at this rate i reckon LEE EVANS may even put in an appearance whoopy i cannot wait.!!!!!!!
As Mo has pointed out if you don't upload the photos by the forum uploader they will drop off and make this thread completely pointless in the future apart from all the good links that have been posted.
The poll is completely pointless now !!
