capa Posted September 14, 2017 Share #279 Posted September 14, 2017 I have a Nam helme with mild graffiti in my collection. Just bought a modern cover for a kevlar helmet that was covered, just because it was interesting for only $2. Guy's whole squad signed it, apparently he was getting out and they wished him luck. Well, it's only legit if the ink is faded! Just kidding, of course. I firmly believe that the mantra that the ink must be faded to be from Vietnam is subject to individual cover scrutiny. Folks need to remember that helmets were used by personnel other than grunts and will, therefore, have differing levels of wear, tear, and fade.

Justin Posted May 16, 2019 Share #283 Posted May 16, 2019 DSC07660.JPG That's a nice looking set Andrei, not sure how I missed it, did it come with a liner? Is the cover dated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmd62 Posted September 8, 2020 Share #285 Posted September 8, 2020 I have an M1-C paratrooper helmet with this liner that has "Jumping is Hell Borne" as graffiti. There's something else on the other side but it's illegible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
