Photo of another helmet mailed home by Brig. Gen. H.A. Allen
I wanted to bump this thread up. I discovered additional helmets that were mailed home by Brigadier General H.A. Allen. Apparently he was a prolific collector/souvenir hunter:
I have seen and photographed 3-other helmets that were mailed home by Brigadier General H.A. Allen, besides this one example that I own that is posted above in this thread. I do not own any of the other helmets.
1-Helmet is a cool "splotch" pattern camo with mail home label to a different person in Iowa.
2nd Helmet is a plain M16 or M17 with ship home label to someone else in Iowa.
3rd Helmet is another camo pattern helmet with mail home label to another person in Iowa.
These other 3-helmets reside in a museum with no chance of them ever being deaccessioned from the museum.
Here's a photo of the splotch pattern camo he mailed home to another person in Iowa. The full liner is intact inside the helmet, and the mailing label is inside the helmet. I'll have to see if I can dig up more photos of it that I have stored away. This pic was on my computer hard drive. The others are on dvd's stored away.
Best Regards,
Alan
