cagedfalcon Posted August 22, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2020 Opinions on this Schlueter. From vet son. Retired mid 70s, so is this a correct setup for VN era? Thank you Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rooster Posted August 22, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 22, 2020 Yes. Many different combinations of steel and liner were used in Vietnam and if its from the vets Son, theres your proof. The color of the liner webbing looks strange but it appears to be mid 50's late 50's liner early 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagedfalcon Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted August 22, 2020 Was an LTC at retirement, could have been a nondescript helmet? Same family my Bob Hope collection came from.Thank you Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted August 26, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 26, 2020 So every component of the helmet (shell, straps, liner) pre-dates Vietnam so it could be. Typically, sewn on straps had been replaced with buckle straps by then, but "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
