USMC M1 Helmet with Cover
In all the years Ive collected, this is the first USMC helmet I have found. Came with some Japanese items, dog tags, paperwork, ammo pouch.

I think you have just hit the jackpot, USMC holy grail. It certainly has the been there look. Try to research the veteran as much as possible to maximise historical and monetary value.

Thanks. I did find out the Vet's name....Arthur F. McMillan he was a Marine in the Pacific from April 1942 to Oct. 1944
Thats all the info I could get. I hope he did not get killed on duty. Any more info would be most appreciated.
Nice helmets by the way

I can't help it I have to comment again Cowboy. That is just a ripper helmet and cover with history. Makes me forget about German helmets.....
