Hey guys.
I recived my M1 Garand, though I don’t have the camera today :/
I saw this add, it’s supose to be an original german helmet with original deacals.
Though to me, the finish and the name inside the helmet does not look good.
Seems to be like the helmet has been polished, but I can’t say something about the decal on this.
If I had to guess.. .. I would say it looks good compared to the other melmets I’ve got.
But as I said, it looks too good to be true.

What do you guys think?

Here is a project I have been working for a while, most of you have probably already seen it posted elsewhere, but I am always looking for more information on the USAAS. For years I searched for an original Ford Model T ambulance. To date, I have not been able to locate an original in the US, although I suspect there is at least one. All of the examples displayed in the various museums around the US are replicas, made by a couple of Montana farmers in the 1980s, so I figured that was the only way I could have one. The Chassis is a 1919 Ford Model T that I acquired last spring. I started constructing the body a few weeks ago. There are no plans for the M1917 available, the boys in Montana checked out an original set but it seems that they did not return them. With the help of several people around the US, and by using period photos, dimensions and construction was pieced together. It is not finished yet, but is together enough to make it to a local car show, complete with casualty on a stretcher in the back.

Best

Wanted to get thoughts on these collar tabs. I have not seen many so I don’t have anything to compare. I have ordered the book SS Elite Uniforms which is supposed to have photos of these tabs in it, but it will take amazon almost a month to get it to me!!!

Thanks in advance for you opinions!

Sam
