<p>[QUOTE="Firemandk, post: 2158801, member: 7258"]More recently a few years ago , here in Santa Cruz, I bought an early "fixed bail" WWII helmet from an old actor here who did community theatre, at his garage sale ,for $5.... it was marked USCG in weird white paint, had the original fiberglass lining, it turned out it was an actual D-Day landing helmet worn by the Coast Guard Members that piloted the landing crafts and I sold it to the D-day Museum in France via Ebay for $600 ..... I miss the flea market and garage sales !!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
