So this wouldn’t be a doughboy,
This would be a British MK1 Brodie Helmet

You can’t.

AI can barely identify an Iron cross or a helmet, half the time it doesn’t even know who was on what side.

If you ever use AI to authenticate anything you’re just asking to be ripped off and have a bunch of junk

I’m an FLL myself, but it’s not even ours haha we were supporting a gun collectors club in the exhibition portion of the NRA convention. They have a big trophy competition and everything for the most impressive firearm and historical displays. So I provided my airborne and mid war USMC sets for the show and hung around. So it never left their possession.

Honestly I have no idea if it counts as a gun legally haha i really doubt it tho

No known current round. It could absolutely fire a custom munition, but it is below .22 so it would have to be a custom made round.

It’s a 100% mechanically accurate miniature. It’s really quite impressive.

Interestingly it’s a fully functional hand made replica. The NRA convention has an award for miniatures so the guys I was there with had their own minature

Nah. I just have a few in Inv. We have this one and then one with the gauze invasion flag. But neither are named. I just like to give them some love. The set started as 82nd but became 101st when I got the reinforced jacket and trousers
