<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 7524321, member: 84"]I found these this morning at a yard sale - it was the same one I bought a Mauser(?) rifle mounted on wood with a VIETNAM '64 - '65 plaque.They were all being sold by a lady who said they were her ex husband's & she wanted to get her garage back.</p><p>The helmet is a RL2? (the lady has 2 more - 1 she said was a RMZ? she wanted $450 for & I wasn't sure if that was too much - I don't collect German stuff; I buy it to resell it) in very good condition - but the unusual/cool thing was a pair of (I believe) military field glasses/binoculars!</p><p>They are signed/etched Surgeon A.C.
