90thDivHistory Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hello all, I picked up this camo helmet at a market and think I have seen the pattern before but I just can't remember where. Any of you camo or helmet experts have any ideas? Thanks for any input you have.

lost-and-found-history Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Difficult to tell from the photos, but it appears to be a silica grit 1970's rear seam helmet. Painted camo patterns on USGI helmets had pretty much gone out of use by that time period, so this could be a foreign paint job. Link to post Share on other sites

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Difficult to tell from the photos, but it appears to be a silica grit 1970's rear seam helmet. Painted camo patterns on USGI helmets had pretty much gone out of use by that time period, so this could be a foreign paint job. I agree, it looks 60s or later.

90thDivHistory Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 yeah I was thinking maybe ROK or ARVN but definitely post WWII. I know I have seen that same pattern in a book that I have. Now I just have to remember which one. Thanks for the comments and opinions.
