the band on the helmet was on the helmet when i gott it

this helmet was given to a norwegian army man in mid1970

by an us marine,i have even another band that came from

a friend of mine in the usa and he is a nam vet.

but there is no stamp or codes on them think.gif

cheers ken

Put your bayonet on the shovel cover; it will give more room on the belt for an extra canteen! :lol:

so if someone have a 56 pattern to trade with me

i can give a near mint 1943 cover back.

also replace the black plastic waffle mag with a USGI aluminum 20 rd mag or 30 rd mag

 

the 30 rd USGI M16 mags were in short supply 1966 - 67 , most regular soldiers carried standard 20 rd mags

You look really great but that E-tool needs to be mounted higher where you wont get it stuck between your leggs when running. I

 

would mount it on the radio harnes and put the wire cutter pouch on the belt. Market garden

Looking good Ken, nice set up you got going and I'm glad to see your working hard to improve your impression. I think if I remember correctly the Helmet Band you have around your Helmet is the post war issue type for the M74 Pattern Helmet of which there are ten's of thousands here in Europe, best remove that one and get a current issue US band and remove the cat's eyes to get a period look.

 

Cheers Simon.
