US m1 Chaplain helmets

This helmet is rock solid and I know to most it is not a combat helmet in the sense as we would think. But remember this man carried a Bible not a rifle on the battle field, he is a Strong man in my eyes.

Yes indeed.

Great crazing to the paint. Glad this all worked out and it wasn't shipped down to the SOS before you got it! Timing was perfect.

I love the two helmet you have and of course your photography is perfect. Seeing your two helmet together I believe I will kept the camo I was trying to sell.

In fact I think I mentioned to keep it....LoL...But if I didn't I know I thought it.

Thanks! I really like taking nice photos. It's no fun sharing if others can't appreciate them. Be warned...these can get addicting. I only have 4 but know guys who have dozen upon dozens.

Always good to see something different and these are great. British Army chaplain items are keenly collected, though I don't remember seeing many helmets for sale, but I have seen a few caps and the uniform badges.

More things on Chaplain Kroll. The story on his enlistment is cool.

Michael, thank you again for your help in finding this and putting me on to it.
