Late-WWII USMC Camouflage Helmet Cover (New-Old-Stock)
This original WWII U.S. Marine Corps camouflage helmet cover is in new-old-stock, unissued condition. It features the distinctive double-chain center stitching and zig-zag border stitching on the beach side. It is still in its wartime configuration, with no Eagle Globe & Anchor stampings on either side of the cover. This variation, without foliage slits, is often referred to by collectors as a 'first pattern' cover, but in actuality was the third type produced, often seen during the fighting on Iwo Jima.
