Could the owl have been the soldiers nickname. Perhaps he personalized his helmet? Or perhaps related to a badge or his intellect? I did see a sniper helmet that the soldier painted on the inside of the helmet an image of the sniper badge. Any case, great helmet. Congratulations !
I've had this one for awhile now. Came out of an old bar in Wisconsin if memory serves me correctly. No one knows what these owls represent either??? Something to do with 5th US Army.
this helmet is awesome
one of Radovics books has this lid in it and also
a period photo of two smiling soldiers and one has
a small owl perched on his hand coincidence?
