Hello Capt. Rudy. Yes that is Philip in the picture, he became a laborer under our "guest worker" program.
The "brown" helmet is for PA officers, Officer cadets (PMA) and college ROTC. The "blue" banded ones are for PA enlisted ranks.
The featured workshop is a secret location, one among several scatttered in private backyards away from industrial centers to lessen the effects of single raid damage from Japanese bombers.
The price per helmet is $30.00

I will have to get one too. Heck, I know there was some "wheeling and dealing" between air corps types and the PI army! ;D I will get it for the display and say I got it while stationed at Del Carmen. GREAT WORK!!

I wan't to start making a PA and PS impression. I live at the Bay Area , CA . Can you please give me a list of the gears and uniforms that the PS and PA used? And also If I can put an order of the Guinit Sun Helmet with the Philippine Commonwealth Army insignia. I bought some stuff from Art Garcia before from this forum too. Please let me know do I need to talk to and how to send the payment. Thanks and Keep up the good work here.

Hi Paul, That's a good start for the gear you've collected so far for doing Infantryman equipped with a thompson ( only kind allowed in Manila) What you still need are the ff: 1 - U.S. M1917A1 Kelly steel Helmet with canvass chin strap 2 - M1918 Canteen and khaki cover - Aluminum cap 3 - M4A1 Gas Mask Bag canvass khaki ( standard issue) 4 - canvass khaki Leggings - (army issue 8 hooks/17 holes) 5 - Russet brown ankle boots with toe cap 6 - canvass khaki haversack with WWI mess kit and single button pouch all this info above and more detailed available courtesy of Victor's research, check them all out in link below with Victor's post. pinoyhistory.proboards22.com/index.cgi?board=reenactingwwii&action=display&thread=753For infantry rifleman then you will need a rifle and ammo belt. the M1941 Field jacket ( TV show Combat fame) never reach nor issued the PS. As for the Campaign Hat you'll need to complete it with the ff: 7 - 57th or 45th DUI pin (ebay)  8 - light blue infantry cord with acorn ends Philip |

Thanks Philip I will try to get those items you listed. Wife will not be that happy, but maybe I can convince her to make it as my Christmas gift...  I have a 14th Engineer Regiment DUI and Hat cord for the Campaign hat. Will that work for the impression? Again thanks. |

Great to hear we've aroused some PS/PA historical interest in you Paul. You're on your way to a PS impression. A lot of them can be re-used for PA too. Show us some pictures of your impression when you get a chance. Cheers. -victor

Thank. I will share some pics as soon as I get one which is good. And also is there a way to research informations for veterans. My grandfather ( may his soul rest in peace) was a veteran of WW II at P.I. . He died like 15 years ago here at Vallejo, CA. I want to know what outfit he belongs to, never had a chance to ask him before. - Paul

Hi Paul,
Yes you use the 14th Enginners with it's corresponding color hat cord.
Your SF based so you can get a rifle there too. If you can afford it go infantry with the basic rifleman's weapon issued even for the engineers they were issued M1 Garands.
Was your Grandfather in the PS or PA? If PS then you can inquire at the PSHS forum for some help. Ask your folks about your grandfather's military background, they should be able to tell more about his service in WWII.
Philip
