original MP Helmet?
Hello everyone, i was looking at this helmet and sorta fell in love with it. i think that the liner is from WW2 because is has the hole to put the rank bar in the front. i could be wrong though. i was wondering if the painting on the helmet and the liner is original. The MP looks a little fresh to be but the painting on the shell looks good to me. i like the "Miss Mr. Charlie" wasnt that the nick name given to the enemy? anyways any help would be very appreciated.

Re: original MP Helmet?
I believe it says: 'Miss Me Charlie' - which corrected should read: 'Missed Me Charlie'.
( Note the arrow pointing to a 'hole' ) This would indeed be Vietnam era,
but could have been written anytime after.
This incomplete helmet is a reworked WWII lid IMO, with later replacement
chinstraps, though the sellers' description is accurate enough.
The white stripe on the top of the lid is strange !
The rough 'MP' markings on the liner are hand painted, which leads
me to think it is a modern made-up or put-together job. The liner
webbing, or what's left, has also been sprayed dark green.
I would not want this one unless it was very cheap
since it has been messed with.
There are better ones out there...............!
