IKEsaysGO44 Posted January 11, 2017 #7 Posted January 11, 2017 Rear and Inside. Sorry for the double post. The helmet was purchased in Northern Virginia in 2007 - not far from Barrack's hometown in Maryland.

Nkomo Posted January 11, 2017 #11 Posted January 11, 2017 A small grouping named to a Corporal in the 2nd BN, 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th BCT, 4th Infantry Division. During their time in Afghanistan, the 2nd Battalion was based in the Pech River Valley, Kunar Province, home to the Korengal, Waygal, Shuriak, and Wata Pour Valleys. During its time in the Pech Valley, the 2nd Battalion saw heavy fighting throughout their Area of Responsibility at the foothills of the Hindu Kush mountains.
pump 150 Posted January 12, 2017 #12 Posted January 12, 2017 Nice helmets everyone! Here is a companion to nkomo's very nice ACH. Another variation, complete as worn with UCP camo and earlier OD patch, 2005-2008 period during Iraq deployments.
jasonm Posted January 13, 2017 #13 Posted January 13, 2017 Sourced locally from an estate sale here in NC by me a few years ago.
NBusk Posted January 14, 2017 #14 Posted January 14, 2017 Here are my 4th ID helmets. The first is an ACH with a UCP camo cover, same time period as Pump 150's helmet. The second is also an ACH with a later OCP camo cover.
Ronnie Posted January 15, 2017 #15 Posted January 15, 2017 Here's mine from the widow of Lt. Robert Riser. The parachute cover was made by him after he cut this piece from a parachute he found just inland from Utah Beach. This is documented by a letter from the widow. Lt. Riser landed on D-Day. Ronnie
IVYDIVISION Posted August 20, 2018 Author #16 Posted August 20, 2018 Of my favorite 4th , Its an nice Hawley named on front and with Lundry in it ID from ordonnance guy who was wounded on Utah . Insignia are on each side painted twice the last time with gas alert paint
