Greetings to all. I am new to this forum and will give a brief introduction before my question. I have been collecting militaria (primarily helmets) off and on since I was a kid in the early 70's. I have recently begun collecting again and have found this forum very informative. I have an M-16 helmet with rough texture dark green paint and a single decal (Heer). The M-16 chin strap posts have been removed and the hole riveted (as described in Tubb's book). Standard M-31 liner. I know the WWI double decal helmets used prior to the M-35s are referred to as "Transitional" helmets, but my single decal was obviously issued after the national colors decal was ordered removed. My assumption has been that these were intended for support/non-combat troops? Any info?
Thanks
Lee
