Here is my latest find a nice untouched M-18 camo mail back Helmet. There are three leather tags where the soldier mailed the helmet to his mother Mrs. William Zollman~from France. This old helmet has spoke volumes to me after searching on ancestry.com and Checking US Census. I have a copy of Mr Zollman Jr Military Registration Card and a photo of his military grave. I have much more info on Mr Zollmam...more than I can post here.I will say he lived a long life married late in life and had two children. We often say when we pick up a old military item if this piece could speak ... Well my old helmet has told me a lot about the soldier and his family .. Regards,Jeff

Congrats, that is a very nice find!

Very nice can we see the leather tags ? Rob

Here you go Rob.. Leather tags front and back and Mr Zollmans Registration Card. One side has his Mothers address and the other~ From: Wm. Zollmam..159th inf. brig.. A.E.F. France.. The discoloring on the top of the helmet is where it rested for many years and the stamps placed.. Regards,Jeff

Very cool , thats a fine helmet Jeff . Rob

Fantastic M18! Having the mail back info really helps solidify the provenance. I just love the WW1 Camo's!
