StevenL Posted May 31, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2011 I just posted a photo of this helmet in a latest finds forum thread but I wanted to start one here for posting all of them. This is my first ACH and was a forum purchase. The helmet's been painted tan, has a theater made 62nd Engineer Battalion patch sewn onto the cover and is named (just not in the photos). Part of the MSA label was covered with over spray from the paint job but it's still readable. I really love the look of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted May 31, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 31, 2011 That's probably as fine an example as you'll see. Those in-country patched covers are great! Sabrejet :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoovieDude Posted May 31, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 31, 2011 Nice pick up :thumbsup: I have a love/hate mentality with modern stuff, since I've used a good majority of it, and like the guys of yesteryear who only saw their stuff as surplus, I do too in many ways. In others, I also find it neat, especially being a true helmet head and collector in general, and understand the importance of preserving things for the future. Which is probably why I kept many of my items from over the years, and still pick up a neat modern piece every now and then when the opportunity is correct.

StevenL Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted May 31, 2011 Another member told me through PMs that the patch on this helmet is US made. It was advertised as being Afghani made when I bought it but I don't know diddly about the modern theater made patches (they just seem too perfectly made anymore). If this is US made then I'm really out of touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz232sqn Posted June 5, 2011 Share #8 Posted June 5, 2011 Fantastic example, love it, the patch could be a US made patch rather than theatre made ????, either way,cool lid :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
