Hi guys purchased this U.S practice bomb last weekend at a flea market for $27 dollars and this U.S leather pilots cap which I do believe is WW2 for $10. Have not seen many of these bombs around and thought you guys would enjoy taking look at it. Any information would be great since this is not my main field of collecting.
I have just bought this helmet, but am not very knowledable in US helmets. Any opinions would be welcome & appreciated! You can't tell from the scan, but the part that fits over the head is about half of a globe. I see no stamping, or writing - anywhere. I do not have a camera, just a scanner. Thanks!
I found this but i have no idea what it is and how much its worth, can anybody help?
Thanks
This is a field re-paint with the majority of the thick texture paint remaining and there's no dents in the shell. Someone put a leather treatment on the liner some time ago and part of the chin strap remains.
These non decal helmets are getting harder to find as many were enhanced with fake decals over the years. Overall a nice combat veteran.

Very recently I was involved in the demolition of my Grandfathers shed, being quite a big shed, there was a lot of boxes and in one of them in an envelope was my Great Grandfathers service booklet, it was the first time my Grandad had ever seen it so it was a suprise and a bit of a shock to him :eek: . He had a small look through it, and wrote a few things down that were in it. Then suprisingly he gave it to me saying that my Great Grandfather would have wanted me to have it, even though he died before I was born. Its quite strange because the only things that I have from both my Great Grandfathers are military, the other gave me a hollow Mill's bomb :D which I still have!
I'll put up some pictures soon if anyone is interested in them.
I was also hoping to do a little bit of research on him, theres a family rumour that he was awarded the DCM, but I have no idea finding out if this is true or not. So if anyone has any ideas, can you let me know.
Thanks
Danny
