Not sure if this is the correct place to post this thread but I just got this Vietnam era M1 helmet from a buddy of mine that served in Vietnam. This was NOT his helmet, but he said he picked it up sometime after the war. I’m pretty baffled with this one as the camo cover has "The few, the proud, the marines" written onto it. I figured this slogan was created after the war but perhaps I’m mistaken. The liner looks different to me as well, maybe airborne? There is an anchor stamped into one of the clasps, while the camo liner band is inscribed with the words "Go Army".

I’m assuming this helmet has been put together with various, mis-matched pieces as I’m assuming the camo cover, liner, and camo band did not all go together originally. Any information or advice on this would be much appreciated!

Well this was my last find for the week. It has bin a great week if you noticed from My last post a few days ago. I DO not know anything about m-60s so i figured maybe we have a vet on here that packed one of these around before.

I picked this up for nearly nothing but honestly i have not seen any around for display. This is a non firing display with all functional parts. There are no internal parts so I think its not considered a machine gun?. Looks like there was a cut into the receiver and someone did weld it back together. The barrel might be cut since there looks like a weld in it but i could be wrong. Someone put a block of wood inside the receiver as you can notice inside the receiver. Charging handle moves a little on it. In thinking its 1980s? I’m not sure. Hope its legal in U.S.

I don’t known if there is a collector value on these as i notice it still has a lot of good parts to it. I don’t think if could ever be made to fire but I’m not sure. Do not know of there is money in these ..part kits?

Any help would be great…thanks
I apologize that the pictures are backwards. I don’t use a computer so it messes up sometimes.

I just picked up this 36th Infantry Uniform today. The jacket is dated June 1944; however, the chevrons look Korean era to me. The helmet is a mystery to me as well but it came with the grouping but does not look like it fits the era. Any information on this grouping would be very appreciated and helpful as I haven’t gotten the chance to do much research into it yet cool militaria

Hello gentlemen , could use your insight on this clasp . Looked good to me but in Toms book the back plate, hing pin, and pin are magnetic . This one only the back plate is magnetic . Also the pin through the hinge does not have a head like most I have researched . All comments welcomed. Ras

Hello,

Came across these two cased Iron Crosses. I may possibly pick up and was curious to your opinions. Any opinions welcome?

1st one is Iron Cross First Class by Klein & Quenzer.

The second is a Iron Cross First Class by C.F. Zimmerman

‘Receiver, RG (’Red-Green’ Infrared, O.S.960 G.A., Za 23119)’

Just arrived is my semi-relic ‘Tabby’ and case. I must confess that the Receiver and the case cropped up separately. I was pleased to be able to secure them as they both have that ‘distressed’ look and compliment each other perfectly.

Thanks for looking.

Hi people.

I have recently bought another old japanese paybook.
It belonged to Katsumori Kato.
He was born in Hokkaido on November 12, 1918.

At first, I thought he was an infantry man, but then I noticed that the kanji is a little bit different, so I am not sure about that.

I think he was promoted to 陸軍兵長 when he finished his 2 year service.

The pay book comes with an old pic inside. I think it does not match with the pay book, because the place is in the Philippines, and the service of this guy finished in 1941.

Here what I have discovered. Maybe someone could add new information.
Thanks in advance.
