Help me Identify this helmet
#1
Could anyone please help me identify this helmet? This is a dark olive green helmet made of metal. It is a high bucket style with a short brim. The front of the helmet has an five pointed red star painted on it. The inside liner is composed of a canvas/ oil cloth- like material with holes to adjust the original string for sizing.( Please see photos.) There is the original leather strap head belt which would buckle under the chin. The helmet measures approx. 11" long front to back and is approx. 7.50" tall with a width of 9.75". There are numbers imprinted on the inside of the helmet which I believe read, POCT 2 A013-40R 1867 or 1367 and inscribed into the helmet the printed (engraved) numbers and letter 2J283 or 2 and a backwards C 283 I apologize in being vague with the actual numbers but it is difficult to read. The helmet has three rivets on it. I have photos but they are too large to post but I will happily e-mail them to you if you would like to see them. Thank you.
