ArchangelDM Posted March 13, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2018 Just got this one in the post and I personally think its a killer lid. Multi colour helmet with black at the base , then a brown yellow and green. The yellow has aged and darkened to a cream , the whole camo has these intricate leaf shapes which Ive seen before in another helmet I have. The linernis origibal to the helmet and I believe its eother a Korean name or a Vietnamese name , any help would be amazing on this one. I am no expert on these so please feel free to tell me what era you believe it is. Shows lots of use and discolouration to all parts including the chin straps. There is no anchor mark and the shell is a rear seam. I look forward to your thoughts Yours Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmax Posted March 14, 2018 Share #17 Posted March 14, 2018 Ww2 period. I uncovered a very similar pattern from a swivel bail helmet that had about 5 or 6 layers of paint on top. The camo paint had red brown, white and black splotches of paint. Sold it to member HoovieDude and he may still have pics of the lid in question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchcollector Posted March 14, 2018 Share #18 Posted March 14, 2018 It looks like "BURN" is written in the liner in post # 10 near your thumb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted March 14, 2018 Share #25 Posted March 14, 2018 It certainly is interesting but I'm just not getting good vibes, as stupid as that sounds. Nothing really conscious, I just subconsciously don't like it for some reason I can't put my finger on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
