M1 Helmet Veitnam.

Hi Guys.

Here is an M1 veitnam era ,from my collection,this particular lid,looks like it never saw no jungle,but it is a good representation of what the Gi's lid would have looked like before hitting the boonies.

Enjoy

Cheers Mate, I reckon this one was NOS or hardly ever used,I got it on ebay,so who know's what it's history was,.....thanks for looking

Anytime Gary I personally go for the well used and "salty" looking vietnam helmets but I do have some nice clean ones as well also love the ones with the graffitti on the covers

Yeah Mate ,I know what you mean,but they are so darned expensive ( and potentially faked) so I'm wary of graffitied covers...thanks again Mate

The sweatband is POST Vietnam war era. The style of writting is typical of the 80's. 1971 was the first year the DSA was printed on the outside of the sweatband.

Nice helmet
