Awesome. Great job on the yard. LOL i prayed to the tiki god of "ïnexpensive reproductions" i found it by accident at a local surplus store near my house, it was white with a green liner, I found what seemed to be the correct shade of Khaki and painted the helmet then I used coffee grounds to darken the puggaree. the helmet was made in aof all places Vietnam, who knew? lol yea if I had an original Id keep it in an air tight safe! every one Ive ever found was crushed or turning to dust! The khaki Richard Simons shorts are actually British marked and the coat is a Kriegsmarine Tropical jacket, which I never let out in the sun :) thanks again!! paul
