Very cool. Is that a 6 Color desert M1 Helmet cover? If so, can I please see a close up of the cover's stamp? I've been looking for proof of these actually being an issue item. Thanks.

Hi Andrew.

Nope sorry Mate,it's a Six Colour/Choc chip cover on a Pasgt Lid,but I do own a Six colour M1 cover , which is unmarked,and ID'd on the USMF as a Kuwaiti cover!

Thanks for looking and for your comments

Awesome collection, are any of the painted ones original?

The Medic lids are original, the top one is Korean issue,the Bottom one is WW2,but sadly the Rangers lid,is a Korean era lid,and was mocked up to look like an original,from the guy I got it off.

The lid on the middle shelf,with the horizontal rank, was restored by me,from the original markings e.g. French issued M1.

But 98% of my collection are original, mainly Front seams re-issued for Korean war,or Vietnam.


Thanks for looking and for your interest.

Man, that WWII medic lid is a stunner would give my right leg for that thing.
