world war 2 rangers/marines set pics anyone?

I just tried translating that in just about every major language, nothing came up, did it have any unusal punctuation on any of the letters? like in German sometimes they'll put the two dots on top of a vowel or something. And I havent the foggiest as to what kind of helmet it is, it's deffinately not American or British, my guess is Russian.

Not to sound awkwardly inexperienced, BUT how the heck do i put pictures in my posts? I cant figure it out.

!!! I just opened the flaps of the liner and i saw the words "schluga 98" printed under a flap. Is that German or something?

German or a german speaking country.

It looks like an early version of the german helmet from World War Two. I can't remember the name of it.

Nope. None of those are on the words. just plain old "schluga 98" on it. I've been searching on google for helmet liners and even on ebay, but this particular one never showed up. My guess is this is a Chinese POS scratched up to look used and sold to army surplus stores to be labled as G.I. issued!! But I'll keep looking anyways.

BTW I've searched for Schluga on google, they listed people's names followed by a bunch of German, so this may be a german liner after all.

Also, on http://cgi.ebay.com/German-helmet-liner ... dZViewItem

I found a German liner that's similar to this, but uses stitches to lace it up.

if it's german it's really early german, but i've never seen it. the closest german helmet i can think of would be their fallschirmjager (paratrooper) helmets. even their world war one mirrored their world war two ones.

German postwar M60 helmet, the precursor to their Kevlar helmets.

Alright guys I've edited my original post... now im looking for a set that would look well with the helmet. I'll research that tomorrow as I'm tired after my two hour google search and because it's almost midnight. But if you guys want to post ideas, that'd be nice as well. Thanks!

[PanzerFaust]

Anyways, do you guys know of a bdu set that would work with this helmet? It doesn't necessarily have to be in the same era, as long as they look good together. Thanks!

-will be correct for the period that helmet was in use. The flecktarn pattern was undergoing trials in 1976, and wasn't adopted until 1990. There are M60 helmet covers that were produced in Flecktarn and they shouldn't be difficult to find, surplus, ebay etc.

hmm... those look pretty good. I'll try to look for some.
