US m1 Chaplain helmets

[MAP]

Nice Marty. And to a Bronze Star winner no less!!!

Is this a new pick up?

Interesting camo to the liner. Original or post war school kid art?

No everything is original to this helmet. Camo painted liners were common in the Pacific. This one came in today, I was at the post office before they opened waiting to get it.

This navy chaplain helmet has the rank of Lt. on the front and I have not been able to find a helmet to compare it to until now and i was floored to find a picture showing one very similar.

Thanks, Michael it’s nice when a photo can be found to prove a design of helmet that has not been seen before does exist.
