Helmet of Dreams

[tgn]

A friend of mine picked up this helmet at a VFW auction.

O crap, have to re-size the photos so will do later today.

Hang on to your hat Jeremy. I've got a feeling if Tom is posting it that it's going to be something special...

Sorry for the delay, but I hope it is worth it. My friend picked up this helmet and many other items in a lot at a VFW sale.

He didn't even notice the decal partially exposed until he got it outside. The initials in the rim are painted with the same red paint used for the red cross.

Hope it was worth the wait. I took these photos of the helmet sitting on a shelf in my friend's room so I hope they are clear enough.

I may be wrong and will wait to be corrected, but from those photos I don't like the decal.

The more I look at it the more I don't like it-sorry.

What's the maker? Decal looks to be a round bottom fake to me but it is a little obsured by the paint. Rgs Bill

Wow if this helmet is real it would be the find of the year!
It looks impressive but I am not an expert!

Hmm. Maybe a vet picked it up on EBay? A vet friend of mine who was in the Battle of the Bulge passed away and when I inquired about any helmets in the estate, I was shown an obvious fake that he probably picked up at a fair in the 1960's, where I remember them being sold.
