Beautiful cover you have there!

I was looking for a second pattern helmet to top off our Korean Marine, but had to settle for a first pattern.

Plenty of WW2 stuff was reissued in Korea!
Man, that's an awesome display !!

That's what I was thinking when I used the WW2 cover.
Thanks! Nothing says "I mean business" like standing behind a Ma-deuce. The muzzle on the left is the Russian equivalent, the 12.7mm DShK. Too bad they're de-miled.

Here's the whole (mostly) display, we will be hanging a UN flag on the right. Any comments welcome!

Man That is SWEEEEEEEET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MattS]

Got the UN flag up last week too. Thanks for the comments!

That is a beautiful display! It must have taken a lot of time and energy to acquire all those goodies! I must admit, I am rather jealous....because it looks like you have an entire hangar to display all your militaria!!

Thanks for the comments, but this is at our museum, not my house! I just set up the displays, I don't own them. Our website is www.museumofthesoldier.com if you'd care to look.
