well im not really sure cuz im just going off of the batch insignia on the inside of my grandpas helmet.... but i heard from another friend of mine that they droped way off coarse of where they should have been and most of them died... but i dont know much about it. If it helps any the patch is white and blue and has what looks to be a dragon with and arrow comming out of its mouth.
That's 18 Airborne Corps. few weeks ago, at the Memorial service at Margraten I sat next to a trooper with that patch. Made a point of asking... AFAIK Corps is/was just a HQ unit. No combat unit.
ok thanks and i was woundering if a helmet liner with the original markings would be worth anything special......tho i dont plan on selling it....it means the world to me but i was just curious if you could tell me an estimate of how much its worth or find out from someone els that would be great thanks!
I honestly have no idea. I have seen one or two on Ebay and they fetched "a hefty sum", I remember. Not so much 18th Corps, but original helmets with liner and markings. I think one was 101st Airborne, which has particular interest, of course. Try the guys on www.militariacollecting.com theys hould know.
