What cut would you use? would a WW2 US helmet be usable? also what kind of boots were worn? (black leather?)
The WWII US helmet was used right into the Vietnam war. That's why you can get post-war helmets cheaper the war dated helmets. And I believe they moved to the black leather boots by the Korean war.
