And the other helmet...

2509 Ruppert

The eagle...

Hi All! My father gave me these helmets a while ago. He got them from his uncle, a former antique dealer. I have absolutely no idea what kind they are. Can anyone identify them or provide any information? Thanks! First, is a black helmet, with a swastika on a red shield. On the other side is a gold eagle with another swastika. On the interior "2509 Ruppert" is written in white paint. The other other looks like it could be Afrika Corps, but I'm not sure.

If anyone wants better pictures, I'll try my best to get them. Thanks! -Alex

And the contents...

The Medical Kit...

The paper...

Hi All! This is my very first post on GMIC forums. My father gave this stuff to me a while ago. He had got it from his uncle, a former antique dealer. First, there is a japanese flag signed by General MacArthur himself. I have a slip of paper from Staff Sargent Richard S. Cross, a member of the public relations section of MacArthur's headquaters, who originally obtained the signature. Unfortunately, the General signed with a felt tip pen, and the writing has mostly worn away. The other item is a japanese medical kit. The case is in great condition. Inside were three glass bottles still containing liquids, probably morphine. The one with the markings had been used and was empty. There was also an unopened package of bandages. If anyone has any information on this, please let me know. Thanks! -Alex
