M17 Camo and 2 Grenades Lot

[C. Roelens]

These items came out of an attic here in SoCal. I was stoked to get the helmet, and then he pulled out these two grenades. The helmet is a B.F.62. The leather was chewed on a bit by a hungry rodent, otherwise; untouched. The chinstrap still retains a couple original field repairs.

Liner - I secured the front liner pad as it has almost completely separated from the steel liner band. All three original cushions are tied in their pouches. There is also an oval makers ink stamp on the backside of one of the liner pad fingers. The drawstring is missing.

Great looking helmet. That is not a pattern seen everyday.

I hope not! Both are inert.

It was. He relisted it with a BIN option, and I was lucky enough to hit the button first. The two grenades came out of nowhere. I missed the U.S. helmet, it was named to U.S. Army 1st. Lt. J.A. Miller.

Great looking and exotic camo helmet! The grenades make for an excellent display! I used the same green wire to attach a separated liner pad that was part of a nice helmet that I bought from you a few years ago. I also used brown thread for extra support for an attached but loose liner pad. I would like to find some of that wire in a brown color to use instead. It’s always cool to see your new collection additions!
