Writing on helmet covers

[jjdevi1]

You could put your "zap" information on the sides. Blood group/type was written on a lot of covers in country.

Has anyone considered saying "Don't do it"? 25 years from now someone will be posting it here puzzled by why a '77 cover had these "Nam type sayings on it. :think:

 

I actually dont think its worth messing with a micthell cover either. Even if you use a post-VN cover, it wont really be correct for a lot of VN impressions except maybe a super late one (long flap covers seem to of first been made in 1969 and I dont know how many made it to Vietnam but I think the number is very small). You can tell if a helmet has a long flap or a short flap just by looking at the side of a helmet. Although small details like that may not matter to some people.....

 

I think a helmet cover with the correct amount of wear and fading and dirt for VN serivce, and tight over the helmet, looks a whole lot better and cooler for an impression or display than any writing.
