Here is an interesting M1917 helmet, this one is marked "ZD 238", however the stamp itself is showing through on the top side. I have not seen hardly any like this.

I have been re-organizing my helmets, so I thought I would get the camera out and take a few pictures. Got more to load up over the next few days.

Another US M1917, "ZC 56", this one has a red strip on the top and a hole punched in the brim, usually a sign it was rejected for some reason.
