Under rated as these out lasted the M1's service period

Nice set Rene.......
I pick up one a few years back at a show. Bought it as WW2...but upon closer inspection I misread the date..... Thought it said 1943.....but it was 1948!
Still, it's named to a Master Sgt!

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Mil trader inspired me to post up
America’s ‘Other’ World War Lid - Military Trader/Vehicles
Named to Paul Riddle, Master Sgt Infantry. RN # 42039650 from Bronx NY. Recalled to Active Duty who had been transferred to the ERC. Re-enlisted March 25, 1946. Born 1925.
It looked like 1943 at the show but the moment I got home I realized I made an error.
Didn't have any photos so just took these quickly.
EGA is unmarked

Here is the example I have. It belonged to a Marine friend of mine who was with F Company 2nd Battalion 7th Marines at the Chosin Reservoir in Korea.. I will have to get the helmet back out to check the date but the EGA is a JR Gaunt from London..
