Old Marine Posted September 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2020 I found these 2 helmet covers while digging through a box in the closet. I noticed a slight difference in the covers. Can any of you helmet guys tell me what I have here? I think the one on the left is older. But, being as I don’t collect VN stuff and not that familiar with it, I would like your opinions. thanks Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
