    I tried to buy this with other gear in a load, but seller would not sell it. Got photos to show here.

    This was made and kept in the platton area while on earthquake relief in Haiti 2010.

    I find suprising that it's painted on a M1 helmet?

    I would bet money this helmet was used by the Haitian Defense Forces, was found and decorated by a US soldier. Very cool, MZ.

    Nkomo,

    I did not even think of that angle....keen observation - a possibility.

    I try to buy items like this, but sometimes the owner will not give it up. In this case, the helmet found it's way back to the soldier who had painted it.....Still, I try to post photos on the forum as a way to record items "observed in the wild" (as Joefriday recently stated). Typically, the owners have no issues with me taking photos of their items.

    Happy hunting,
    MZ
