mrhell Posted August 8, 2009 #1 Posted August 8, 2009 My Son was able to pick this up for $20; money well invested I told him (especially in this market) I'm not up on the more modern items, but my guess is that this is a tankers helmet with a manufacturing date of 1992? Whatever it is the condition is unissued. Now let's see if he'll make a trade with me..... :think:

mrhell Posted August 8, 2009 Author #3 Posted August 8, 2009 Whoopsie, I was looking at the wrong line. Apparently the coffee didn't kick in yet. Thank you for the correction Austin.
BEAST Posted August 8, 2009 #4 Posted August 8, 2009 MrHell, This is part of the Combat Vehicle Crew (CVC) helmet. There is a hard shell that attaches (by velcro IIRC) to the top. Here is a thread that shows the shell. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...1115&hl=CVC Nice piece and a good price also.
Manchu Warrior Posted August 8, 2009 #5 Posted August 8, 2009 They make a newer version of the shell that is made of Kevlar and they can be a little pricey. I am not sure what the old version is made out of but you should be able to pick one up fairly cheap on ebay.
mrhell Posted August 8, 2009 Author #6 Posted August 8, 2009 Thanks men. Now we'll add a CVC shell to the look for list. Appreciate the information. :thumbsup:
hawkdriver Posted August 8, 2009 #7 Posted August 8, 2009 Contract is 92, mfg is 2001 (NSN). The 01 in the NSN does not mean manufacture date, that is part of the code and has nothing to do with year.

The 01 in the NSN does not mean manufacture date, that is part of the code and has nothing to do with year. The 01 you are looking at is the National Codification Bureau Code. 01 identifies it as a US made product in the NATO coding system.

hawkdriver Posted August 9, 2009 #10 Posted August 9, 2009 Really? Those bastards.... Don't feel bad, I used to think the same thing until I met this board. It took awhile, until I realized that everything in the US Army was made in either 2000 or 2001 :pinch:
