Very Nice helmet!
That guy's man cave has an AWESOME selection of Marine Corps Blouse's!!!!!
That is just Outstanding!!!!

Thanks for the kind words!

His man cave was awesome... it was like: "Walmart for USGI head gear, 1941-Present". He had soooo many USMC, SeaBee, USN and PT Boat crew dress uniforms. Most all of the dress uniforms he has are complete and are painstakingly researched. He showed me one USMC dress uniform that belonged to a Pvt. that was on Okinawa. He then took a binder off his shelf and showed me all of that Marine's military documents... he even had a USMC medical document that showed where that marine was wounded on a diagram of a human body. He then flipped some of the pages and showed me post-war pictures of the marine just prior to when he passed away. It was an amazing experience!

Visiting this gentleman's man cave really put things into perspective for me... Right now, I don't think I could let any of the top pieces of my collection go. He on the other hand, has decided that it is time for everything to go and he has posted it all up for sale on ebay and craigslist. It just goes to show you that as life goes on, priorities change!

Nice score with the helmets and I love the helmet covers! That is one focused collection your friend has, I admire anyone that does that. I don't have the discipline to focus collecting one type of item! Cheers, Robert

Thanks Robert! It really was a great experience being able to view his collection. I got two nice helmets out of it, too!
