MAJAVI Posted October 20, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2020 Hey guys! Just wanted to show you my latest addition to the collection. It may look like a standard ACH with UCP Delta cover but it is a very special set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJAVI Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted October 20, 2020 Here are the labels to the ACH and helmet cover as well as the marking inside the shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted October 20, 2020 Share #3 Posted October 20, 2020 Even stranger than an XXL with no NSN is that a UCP-D cover was made for it, although seemingly not sent to the military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJAVI Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted October 20, 2020 Definitely an interesting set. Already one of my favorites in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkALSE Posted October 20, 2020 Share #5 Posted October 20, 2020 That would be one big dome to fill that lid. Interesting the cover was a FR material too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSRmilitaria Posted October 20, 2020 Share #7 Posted October 20, 2020 Wow thats a very unusual size to see. Great looking cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJAVI Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted October 20, 2020 Thanks! The cover is unissued which makes sense since this helmet size is very rare. Very happy to have this unusual set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxecoburg Posted October 21, 2020 Share #9 Posted October 21, 2020 I've seen 2x sized ACH helmets before. If I recall there was one on ebay awhile back. Never seen *any* covers made in 2x though Also I've been searching for one of the UCP-Delta covers for about a decade, with no luck LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted October 21, 2020 Share #10 Posted October 21, 2020 cover is not only unissued but also has the "contract number" blacked out, my understanding is as part of the contract a company signs with the DLA they are not allowed to sell items to the public with a valid number. So that suggests this cover went straight from the MFG to the public without ever going through the military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not seen another one, in any size, for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price was sky high (like $500 I think) so I walked away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
