ClaptonIsGod Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted September 20, 2009 Guys? What do you all think of the lot? If anybody else has a XS 1990 dated PASGT vest cover, post the DLA and I will see if they are the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaptonIsGod Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted September 20, 2009 anyone? Also, would this 80s liner look fine with a Vietnam era shell, mitchell cover, and vietnam paratrooper chinstrap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaptonIsGod Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted September 20, 2009 Hmm. Won't let me edit. Ok. I was looking at the liner, and have a question. I know on the WWII liners, it has the snap receiver for the chinstrap snap to connect to the liner to keep them together on the jump. I have the same snap on this liner, and wonder why it is there, because as far as I know, I may be wrong as I am a WWII helmet guy, the Vietnam era clip on straps did not have the snap. If they did, can someone point me to where I can buy a pair to put on a shell? Also, wouldn't the purpose of a paratrooper liner be defeated in the 80s since the shell paratrooper chinstrap had already been put into use?

sgtdorango Posted September 20, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 20, 2009 They still made paratrooper specific chinstraps for the airborne, the infantry helmets adopted the newer chinstrap that you are describing....the liner still would work for a Vietnam display, untill you could find a Nam dated one...mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the same sew-on M2 type strap? Or was it the clip on with the snap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
