Here I have a front seam fixed bale Schlueter with the stamp# S 75A and puts its production to 1943. 2 million Schlueters were produced during WW2 compared to McCord’s 20 million.
The liner is a Firestone with uncoated steel triangular washers which puts this one to early 1943. The nape strap has the laundry number Y-5062 http://wwii-enlistment.com/search/?q…quick-search=1 got 8 hits off this laundry number. The liner comes fitted with a double wire sweat band also.
The frog skin cover is the type commonly referred to as the 1st pattern but there is apparently some speculation over the order the 3 known cover types were produced in. This cover has no foliage slits and is marked on the rear in a very faded red 204.
I added this cover to the helmet it did not come with the helmet.

Hi, I am looking at a nice condition M1 Helmet and westinghouse liner that has a Colonel decal on both. The Liner does not have a insignia hole but there is a Colonel decal on it. Is this correct and does the decal look original? I can not find any examples of a Colonel decal for that period.

Hello all,

I would just like to confirm if this one is OK. The raised letters are generally the accepted versions, correct?

I got another aircraft relic in the mail today. This is a relic section of an aircraft propeller, and it was supposedly recovered from the Pitomnik airfield in Stalingrad. The construction of it is interesting. It a wooden propeller covered by some type of heavy duty plastic, and on one side I can see a few numbers. My guess is that it came off of a Fi156, but theres really no telling what plane its from. If the story about it being found at the Pitomnik airfield is true, I would guess its from a German plane. Many Luftwaffe planes were wrecked/destroyed there. Anyways, I thought I would share it with you guys. Let me know what you think.

Best regards- Jarret
