Can you guys please take alook at this helmet and tell me what I have? It has a double 3 domino on the sides. Is that possibly the 33rd Division?
Thanks,
Chief

It's actually the BRITISH 33rd!
We see so many split pin British helmets in use by US troops, that I never even thought British, but the 33rd US insignia was quite popular and one of the more standardized helmet insignia of WW1!

Mr. Jerry,
Thank You so much!
I have been trying to figure it out, and you came through for me!
This is a great forum where I know that I can always find someone willing to help! Knowing where it came from really makes this old rusty helmet a lot more special. Now I will read up on them, and learm more about where this helmet was 95 years ago.
Thanks Again,
Chief
