Very nice, i was trying to emulate a 17th airborne lid with this one. the net is original, however, not original to this helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadawg Posted July 26, 2020 Share #28 Posted July 26, 2020 unfortunately this net is not original to this helmet, but it is original, and has a lot of character. helmet is the one in my icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted July 26, 2020 Share #29 Posted July 26, 2020 A helmet I passed along. This came right out of a veterans trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam R Posted July 27, 2020 Share #30 Posted July 27, 2020 does the tag look authentic to you? So many fakes out there. Its def a fixed bail, nice front seam stainless. Stress cracks could be a little more defined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickman983 Posted July 28, 2020 Share #35 Posted July 28, 2020 I've shared this before but here are some of mine. Unfortunately none are original to the helmets but I do believe all are original. Since this picture I've added a few more nets to the collection including a second knotted two tone net as well as a woven two tone net and another 1/2" British net. I still need to grab one of the US manufactured shrimp nets and hopefully an original netted helmet at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchangelDM Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share #39 Posted July 28, 2020 Hand tied Net on blue - pretty sure this is a PTO helmet and liner. These types can also be seen being worn by marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rooster Posted July 31, 2020 Share #44 Posted July 31, 2020 The Helmet is a WW2 airborne lid with its original straps. Its got Remnants of white stenciled letters on the front with a big Period between each letter.. The chute is for effect ! lol😀 Its got a mid 50's airborne liner marked 82nd. And I added the WW2 net. And the old chin Strap to the liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffuries Posted August 10, 2020 Share #50 Posted August 10, 2020 Here's mine.....Vietnam era shell, WWII era liner, woodland camouflage cover with some sort of netting over that. When I signed into my first unit on 05 May 1986, this was how this helmet was issued to me in my chem bag. When I left the unit in Jun 1988, I put a Plain Jane M1 helmet (Vietnam era shell and liner) in the bag in its place. This helmet followed me around the rest of my career. I don't know who had it before me, the strap around the shell is a leg strap from a M17 gas mask carrier and was on there when I got it. The name on the strap is mine. Old picture, the helmet is packed away, waiting on a my new militaria and gun room. Other Hurricane Michael repairs take priority over that.
