$1.75 ?!?!?! What ?!?
Well. That’s ok Jim. I’ve overpaid for helmets too. I’d go $1.25 on this one tops back in day.
Great one Jim. What a thrill it must have been for you. When I received my 1st combat helm. It was a Luft. In late Jan of this year. I remember thinking how minuscule the decal looked because I had been looking online at blown up examples studying beforehand.
Interesting story to about the shoe polish. The vet didn’t want to see it in his house ? Or maybe the family didn’t ? Interesting. And the method used. Glad he used that instead of scratching it off eh ?
Thanks for sharing

Considering that most of us begin with "starter" helmet, you picked a winner and began your obsession the right way. And not a bad price either!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
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

You won't get provenance much better than that. Interesting too Jim's recollections on the condition of the liner in 1966 and how it since has gained patina.

Love it Jim, and the story as well.
Thanks for sharing.

Pretty astute for an 11yr old Jim ( even if that was several weeks pocket money )
Most kids would've been playing with GI Joes or Major Matt Mason space toys ..... or Hotwheels!! ( I know I was )
