Hitman_one Posted March 13, 2010 #1 Posted March 13, 2010 Are there any pictures or links on here or elseware that show the different markings stamped on the inside of the pasgt helmets? Mine has M8,then 04 in a circle and a + symbol.Then above that is some kind of logo that i cant make out?kind of 'l' shaped with two smaller squares. I hope this makes sence!!Thanks. :thumbsup:
Hitman_one Posted March 13, 2010 Author #4 Posted March 13, 2010 The marks on mine are stamped into the crown of the helmet.The only printed writing on it is a number near the chinstrap fixing.
Sabrejet Posted March 13, 2010 #5 Posted March 13, 2010 I recommend you check out Mark Reynosa's PASGT helmet book, published by Schiffer. You'll find what you need in there..and some! Sabrejet

P-E Posted March 13, 2010 #11 Posted March 13, 2010 I personally have this one ; I've buy this helmet some days ago, and wait now to receive it. Theses pictures are from seller. For me, it's an experimental 3 points chin strap and there's some curious marks inside. No NSN, no number of contract. Do you have an idea of value for this helmet ?
ClaptonIsGod Posted March 14, 2010 #12 Posted March 14, 2010 I think I understand what you mean. These, right?
ClaptonIsGod Posted March 14, 2010 #13 Posted March 14, 2010 You have to look a bit harder since this one is salty, but it's visible.
Hitman_one Posted March 14, 2010 Author #14 Posted March 14, 2010 Yes, those are the same marks.The one at the top.Is that some companys logo? Thanks for the pics. :thumbsup:
ClaptonIsGod Posted March 14, 2010 #15 Posted March 14, 2010 Yes, the elephant is Unicor's mark, i believe. The 86/87 is the year it was made if I am not mistaken, and the L-4 is the size, Large. Don't know what the "+" means, though.
P-E Posted March 14, 2010 #16 Posted March 14, 2010 Yes, the elephant is Unicor's mark, i believe. The 86/87 is the year it was made if I am not mistaken, and the L-4 is the size, Large. Don't know what the "+" means, though. You have right for mark, date and size. The "+" is present on all helmet. It's a rest of cast (I don't know if it's the real word in english, sorry about that...), when fabricating the helmet. If you analyze the helmet shield, you can see there's others marks like this on the front, rear and both side "-".
