thanks guy's!
No one knows period pictures which show 502nd PIR medic with red cross on their helmets?
The helmet was found in the East of France, Champagne-Ardennes region. I know that in general, 101st medics didn't wear the red cross on their helmets but there were a few exceptions.

Hi Greg,
I know a 502nd medic helmet in a private collection with a red cross on the front, belonged to a Captain. I have never seen one like that on a period pic. However, on a well know pic of 2/502nd medic, one of them wears a helmet with red cross on both side without heart.
Best, Jerome

Helmet looks good so far, surprised no one has asked to see inside shots of the shell, the bales and the chinstrap and if there are any heat stamps. Also anyone done a check on the name? This would help to narrow down authenticity I guess.

Hi Greg, Sorry I plum forgot I posted on the US as I just don't come to this side of GHV. I will talk to him tonight or possibly tomorrow and see if he has anything. His stuff is all over the new Birborne book getting ready to come out. I saw his copy...WOW. Bret

Hi Greg, He does not have a picture, but is fairly sure all units had some and not all medical people did. Obscure? It was mostly by choice. I knew a 2nd Div guy, came ashore D+50 as I recall. He was a medic, no indian head, no cross. He did have a nice Luft officer sword and Army dagger but he was giving them to his grandchildren. Could you post pictures of the interior and straps? Bret

Greg, again, nice helmet. I see no glalring problems..or small problems for that matter. Bret PS Shame about the one strap but this design was really quite fragile...thus the swivel bale.

Yes i also agree its had some rough usage and period sitting outdoors, nothing of worry, bale(s) are fine, remaining chinstrap is fine. I cont remeber the site of the top of my head but if you do a bit of googling you may be able to track down the owner and service record. cheers mike

What I mean is that there is a US site that lists all ww2 participants but can't remember the site address. But a bit of googling should find it, will give it a go myself later if no one else can supply the site.

Hi try contacting Rodge Dowson @ Rodge.dowson @yahoo.com or speak to mark Bando' on trigger time they have archives of all who served.
I like the helmet and medics cross but to be honest think that the airborne connection may be a later embellishment. I have a helmet that has the same aged symbol and I know it's a fake, not saying yours is but if the name is correct it will be easy to find. Medics were few compared to GI's and therefor easier to track down .
