Hi Keenan.

 

 

Looks like a 1983 manufacturer to me,and a size medium too.

 

Loving the choc chip cover, this is where I pass a question over to you....What's the V on the side of the cover?

 

Hope you had a cool vacation as well :thumbsup:

Thank1 The "V" was put on the helmets/vehicles of the 24th infantry division in desertstorm era. My dad was in the 24th in DS so we got the helmet and the cover for it.

Thanks for the help
