Sabrejet Posted September 10, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2015 This is a nice honest, unmessed with, "been there" PASGT helmet. Overall, it's in pretty good shape, though I was surprised to see how much corrosion there was on the triangular washers...even my most "salty" WW2 liners don't have anywhere near that amount of corrosion. Must've been exposed to moisture for a prolonged period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky 7th Armored Posted September 10, 2015 Share #7 Posted September 10, 2015 It sure has that "look" to it. Wow, and that is a lot of corrosion on the washers.. I imagined sweat would play a part, but then I saw your pictures and thought that has to be more than sweat, but who knows. Nice lid!

thorin6 Posted September 10, 2015 Share #8 Posted September 10, 2015 That's only slightly worse corrosion than on my PASGT. I wore mine for three years before going over to the Sandbox 1990-1991 and wore it for another three years afterwords. I posted some pictures here (at the bottom of the thread), and you can see three of the washers are white: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/233221-pasgt-helemet/?hl=thorin6&do=findComment&comment=1879322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
