M60 Driver Posted October 2, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 2, 2016 Cleaning out the garage and found this helmet. Can't find exact match, especially regarding the five snaps on each side not to mention the color. My best guess looking online is maybe some HGU-16 variant. But not being a helmet collector I am at a bit of a loss. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northcoastaero Posted October 2, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 2, 2016 SPH stands for Sound Protective Helmet. Usually used in helicopters. The orange painted ones could be from the mid 1950s-early 1960s. Have seen H-3 and H-4 helmets painted this way also.
