Here’s an ET64 M17 Camo helmet I just picked up from the family of a WW1 US 30th Division Vet. It has one pad intact, and appears to have the German veteran’s name and unit penciled onto the underside of the rear skirt of helmet. Looks like "4/88" for the unit?

30th Division was entitled to wear the "Ypres-Lys" + "Somme Offensive" + "Defensive Sector" Battle Participation Bars on their Victory Medal.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I’ve never seen a camo pattern with black used as one of the segment colors. Paint is in nice shape, with the exception of where it was scratched recently on the front right and left side before I acquired it.

I’ll add a few photos at the end to show how the helmet had been stored in the basement of the family, and what else was with it.

I look forward to your comments.

Best Regards,

Alan

Hi friends, This visor cap just arrived in the mail from SV Militaria. I was looking for an original Heer visor cap to round out my uniform display. I’m still looking for a field cap - preferably an early style with soutache. I wanted something with some wear and a slightly crushed appearance and this one fit the bill. It has a black stamp inside that reads Robert Lubstein Berlin NW 21 1936. Size is marked in the crown. I wonder if this was a contract made Lubstein example because the name is not printed in the crown. The other markings are hard to read but I see Sta?? and A.R. 23 II. If it is the 23rd Artillery Regiment I think it can be traced to the 23rd Infantry Division. Any feedback welcome. NH

Hi, mates !

Was it permitted to sharpen bayonets in the US Armed Forces ?

Here´s, (for example), an (re)sharpened US M9 MPBS bayonet.

Thx. in advance,
R.
