trenchfoot Posted September 24, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2016 Hello. I just aquired this helmet and I absolutely love it. It has lots of character has the follow me stripe on the back and 2 hearts in the side. Any help identifying the unit or division? (The heart is probably the unit or division symbol) The helmet is for some reason painted blue and is Kevlar. The chin straps are weird and are most likely replacements, but have been replaced a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hink441 Posted September 24, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 24, 2016 Looks like a M1 helmet with a Fritz cover installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenchfoot Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted September 24, 2016 Looks like a M1 helmet with a Fritz cover installedI just took the cover off. It's a Belgian m1 clone, but the weird thing is, the helmet was on the cover when it was sharpies. Does that mean it's fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnDuc49 Posted September 24, 2016 Share #7 Posted September 24, 2016 It's probably something that someone made, possibly in the 80s when Full Metal Jacket and Platoon came out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkash23686 Posted September 24, 2016 Share #8 Posted September 24, 2016 Yup agree with AnDuc49, nothing about this helmet makes me think its real. Looks like something someone just made up, and all the parts just dont make sense. Real graffiti are pretty darn rare and this one has no wear that makes me think its been on it for any extended period of time....sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenchfoot Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share #10 Posted September 24, 2016 Also, a side note. The Kevlar cover was made in 1992, so it couldn't have been in the 80's. Maybe someone's airsoft or reenacting helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenchfoot Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share #11 Posted September 25, 2016 Could a admin or mod change the name of this thread to " foreign m1 with graffiti Kevlar cover" I don't want the name of this thread to mislead people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
