Well eBay is clearly a rip off

I give up

This hobby is very complex with lots of twists and turns

Wow! I remember the Marx helmets with the premade camouflage leaves. You were super cool as a kid if you had one of those!

Wow, now this is a throwback to my kid days. Many a battles fought with this, my cowboy six shooter and my empty Red Ryder rifle.

Can someone pin this thread for future reference?

Can't do that, matter of fact we may have to close this since it is foreign made. ;)

While at the once monthly Southern California military show I found this rare helmet for $2 bucks !!!

I could hardly believe my luck and am so happy

I hope you agree but will post here for opinionsPosted Image

The cover appears to be made of paper fiber cloth similar to hospital throway sheets

Cap Camouflage Pattern I

I have been informed that there are multiple people out there that believe I was being serious, I was not. Believe me, I can tell the difference between a half sized plastic toy and a steel helmet. Per BagmanL6's wishes I will call him out, thank you for your help, information, time spent corresponding with me, and luck. I apologies if my etiquette and manners are not up to par, I didn't give out any names or info when I referenced our PMs, only you and me understood, now everybody can enjoy the joke.

 

Signed George

 

P.S. I am not an adult.

Am I missing something ? I've been in Africa and unable to look at messages more than every half hour. By the way these are only used by opposition forces. So in the end it's a real helmet but the camo is an illusion.

Nice, is that ballistic grade plastic????

Unfortunately not, the keyword being experimental...After many ARVN troops suffered serious head wounds from ballistic test (apple on the head at fifty paces) mishaps, the design was deemed a failure....The project was scrubbed and most of the existing stocks destroyed...That's what make these extremely rare and desirable....Bodes

 

Btw...Buyers beware, there's a guy on ebay selling salad bowls claiming to be these uber rare helmets....These are easy to spot, as they are thicker, slippery inside, and have the distinct smell of vinegar....
