Hi, I'm trying to restore the original visor of a 1966 HGU 2A/P which has a piece broken off. Can anyone tell me what type of plastic it would be made of (PLA, PET, ABS)  ? Manufacturer is Gentex Cheers

Hi everyone, I bought a boom mike off ebay to fit to an HGU 2A/P im restoring as a FAC helmet. It came with a chrome clip attached. Anyone got a photo of this clip fitted to a helmet/boom mike please. Photo of the clip attached. Cheers

There is no definitive or circumstantial evidence in any way to remotely prove that this helmet was from a Marine Raider. It seems to me the helmet is referencing MCB Quantico Virginia 1961. The Marine wrote his last name on the helmet and painted couple different symbols as a souvenir helmet.

What was cost of patches?

Thanks for the comments!!  Thats why I posted it, thought it was worth some research!!  The 61' could possibly be a year reference.  Have you ever seen original WWII Marine Raider patches? These look worse then the supposed clown on the back of the helmet.  Hopefully you don't own these!!!  Lol!!            

Machine Gun Detachment Cavalry Puerto Rican Militia is my guess.

Recently acquired them. Not recently made. 

“Clown adjacent”…. 😂   That is money.

Here is my early Nam advisor period about 4 years ago. 13 star-buttoned 107's, 51 field cap, with Okinawa Boots.
