ArchangelDM Posted November 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 19, 2020 I recently put a few of my collection together for a group shot, I wanted to see what each one had in common with the other. Over the past couple of years I’ve concentrated on only collecting field used items, studied the wear and tear such items receive and also the colours and what the environment and age does to them. Marine core hand camod items being top of the list for my collection I noticed all of them carry very similar characteristics, wear and colour. I thought these pics came out nice and wanted to share and show my love of salty used M1s enjoy - Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthShore 8754 Posted November 25, 2020 Share #15 Posted November 25, 2020 Awesome collection. Thanks for posting. The helmet on the top right with the yellow vescient paint (Hope I'm spelling that right)and the bullet hole is pretty neat. Is that a paratrooper helmet?
