Brian/Joe,
Have you gentlemen considered turning the ersatz filz/felt thread into a thread that covers all variations of ersatz helmets? It looks like there are only two topics in this filz thread at this time.
I ask because this is a topic that really stirs my interests. There are so many variations of tin, felt, vulcanfibre, paper, cork, or combinations of these that a thread of this type would be extremely interesting.
I have noticed that quite a few folks chime in to topics covering ersatz variations. They seem to be very popular.
I have a hard time finding subject matter covering ersatz helmets sometimes when trying to remember where on the site that I saw them in the past. If older and future ersatz threads were moved to one place, I would think it would be a fairly popular part of the site. Not sure if the other forum members agree...
With my 30+ years in the Corps almost over, and back from Okinawa, I will be getting my pickelhaubes out of storage next month. Im going to post some photos of my ersatz helmets and some rear neck guard unit markings for Joe's data base.
Semper Fi,
Bryan.
