USARV72 Posted November 15, 2018 Share #177 Posted November 15, 2018 K, never thought such would go to the trouble to make helmet covers. Always had doubts, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usoverlord Posted December 2, 2018 Share #178 Posted December 2, 2018 I brought my helmet (along with most of my basic issued items) home with me and still have them. But being the dinosaur I am, I can't figure out how to resize pictures for this site. It's really starting to aggravate me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenchfoot Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share #184 Posted December 3, 2018 Here's another one of mine. Its a repainted ww2 front seam with 1965 dated cover, KW liner, and a LT bar on the front. No name unfortunately. It has a piece of glint tape on the back too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

36thIDAlex Posted December 6, 2018 Share #189 Posted December 6, 2018 Just saw this post come up the other day. My lone Vietnam is a fairly late war example here. RS SB with a cover dated early 70s. Rust and tears fitting to the helmet, it’s tight too so I’ve never tried to take it off. Lighting makes it look a bit brighter than it is, definitely seen it’s time in the sun.

gap Posted December 24, 2018 Share #191 Posted December 24, 2018 Just picked up this helmet set from a USMC veteran who served as a sergeant during Vietnam. It is front seam, fixed loop shell with original chin straps featuring brass hardware. The heat lot is 269A which dates it to mid-1942. The liner is post 1958 and was formerly owned by a Captain Orlando (not my guy). Interestingly, the sweatband and nape strap are both WW2 vintage. The cover is from 1964/65. Very interesting mix of parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
