Marine Helmet Covers
I'm having a general clean/inspection of my cases, some of which have not been opened for a while. I have a couple of Marine covers, and I would like to run them past the forum for evaluation as regards authenticity. I think they are OK, but they have never been shown before. Just the meat and bones here regarding authenticity, the stitching. The photos will enlarge quite well.
I will post the complete lids soon.
Comments welcome.
Best Regards,
Andy

Re: Marine Helmet Covers

Re: Marine Helmet Covers
You just cant beat having one to hand for reference, that's for sure.the stitching looked wrong to be WW2 so i compared it to my 1950's cover & see it looked the same so that's why i askedPics one and three are the 1950's cover. The WW2 helmet I received as a birthday "gift" from the US.
Here is a nasty flash photo of it until I get enough time/motivation/weather to do some photography. Notice the cover has not been cut to put the straps through, but folded.
