phantomfixer Posted January 17, 2016 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2016 This came in the other day...not sure of it's origins but am thinking it is a test helmet or reject..never painted, has date and time inked inside...with a Team Wendy suspension harness.... Any idea of it intended use or more important any value? Note edges of helmet are scrapped.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfixer Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted January 19, 2016 Looking at the edges...maybe not scraped...just not finished yet?... no trim around helmet... No thoughts on intended use?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gitana Posted January 19, 2016 Share #4 Posted January 19, 2016 I would think it's an ACH because it lacks the side chinstrap rivets of the PASGT. That being said, does it have any of the markings normally found in an ACH? If it doesn't have the usual markings, or the usual label, it may very well be a test helmet. Or an unfinished one. There are some test PASGT helmets floating around that look unfinished, but they are devoid of any crown markings inherent in the production models.

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted January 29, 2016 Share #6 Posted January 29, 2016 That's a PASGT The ACH has no brim over the eyes, but those are ACH pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted January 29, 2016 good call on the brim......did not even notice....maybe a test of the pads on a PASGT helmet?? some of the pads are glued in place and some velcroed... tried to flip it on ebay with no interest....not even for the 29.99 opening bid....guess not that cool....but thought neat since no paint or trim.... thanks for the help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortarman Posted January 29, 2016 Share #8 Posted January 29, 2016 Why is the military going to smaller helmets? You would think that they would want to protect as much of the head as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben@HI Posted January 29, 2016 Share #9 Posted January 29, 2016 probably an older usmc LWH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBusk Posted January 29, 2016 Share #10 Posted January 29, 2016 probably an older usmc LWH My thoughts as well. The PASGT has a 2-point chin-strap. Seeing as this one has a 4-point harness, I would guess that it's a LWH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to make it easier to see and hear, increased awareness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
