M1 Vietnam Helmet

[USMCLP]

I feel like the M1 Helmet was used for customization during the Vietnam War..............

[m1gunzone]

wait a minute... u guys are wrong.... woodland camo was used in the vietnam war..... the first has a more od, brown, and black... it was 1st knows as ERDL camo....second pattern was it has a new color added and it was khaki... and after further experimentations of the US military the woodland camo was born... so its still plausible.....no need 2 argue my grandpa had one.... he served in the philippine army contingent force.... and i saw his picture with it in vietnam :D

[MrJasonman02]

where did u get the cross

[MRpowerlevel9001]

i got one today ;]

[reenactorkid1997]

@vietnamguy they never used tiger stripe helmet covers they used erdl late in the war so haha who told the bull shit now

[cxrxuxe]

They did too have the woodland camo cover.

[reenactorkid1997]

@vietnamguy really dont get mad just let them learn by themselves im a vietnam reenactor and know a lot about the gear but i dont get mad over a little mistake

[LittleBigVathole]

@vietnamguy1223 he never said the camo cover was vietnam so why get pissed over a stupid cover.im not trying to get you mad or aneything,just sayin

[NathanGraffiti]

wrong cover fool

[CannonChest]

Cool but what I do with cards is soak them in tea and coffee (Dosnt make them that brown) then burn the edges slightly and fray them then rub it in dirt makes them really cool unless you want a new looking helmet

[zer0dahero]

Hey kid, i can see you got a kind of passion for this kind of stuff. If you are interested, I still got the black/green wax cammo stick i got in basic training. Its the same kind used in viet nam. if you are interested, I can dig it out of storage and send it to you for free. Its dried out and probably un-usable but it may go with your collection. just pm me.

[MrKalashnikov96]

a fallen friend i dunno, lol

[thurin84]

cover erdl pattern (late 1969 to 1982). chinstraps circa 1975. liner vietnam era type 2 airborne. you really shouldnt add grafiti to org cover. buy some foreign mfg look a like for that

[archiaskcommando]

The cover is M81 Woodland developed for the Battle Dress uniform in 1981. it is still a primary pattern today! Was not used in vietnam.

[WASPfreak]

Nice helmet, except the woodland camo is 1980s. I have so far been only able to find woodland camo for my vietnam-era helmet.

[tk7263]

Cool helmet,try not to smoke to much

[Huakalongo]

this is not a Mitchell camo, this is Woodland camo, is not correct for a Vietnam War American Helmet. The cigarrets Lucky Strike are white , to this time (Vietnam war) Lucky Strike was green box. I´m sorry but your Helmet is not legitim :-(

[scubamax222]

why did you draw the ace? >.<

[Destroyer4292]

Cool helmet man, I see you got your bug juice and your death card in there, but you need to use the soft pack of cigarettes not the box, it's the kind that's just paper and has the blue sticker on the top. I've also got a woodland cover on mine and a few death cards and a C-ration can opener.

[vietnamguy1223]

your liner is wrong i see its green thats 80's vietnam is the same but just brown and its a little different in size. and in vietnam we hardly used woodland camo it was a tigger stripe or mitchle pattern and uniform was OD green or tigger triped. dont say im wrong cuz im right i do vietnam war reenactments my dad was in nam and i studdied that war for years so i new what to get for my uniforn so dont give me any of that bull shit.

[Samson8171]

@vietnamguy1223 i know i wasent gonna get mad i know it not authentic

[skatethehouse999]

@vietnamguy1223 well who is going to be seeing you liner when playing airsoft

[thurin84]

@vietnamguy1223 cmp did manufacture green liners during vietnam

[hyunki0510]

@vietnamguy1223 lol bro. chill. you can't be so paranoid and curse him off even before he said anything.

[vietnamguy1223]

@hyunki0510 i comented that a long ass time ago, i did that couse i got tired of retards who think they know everything and try to prove me rong when i'm the one who's right

[jamesboy223]

@vietnamguy1223 they had green liner from1965 up to 1992 and then we got the kevlar helmets

[vietnamguy1223]

@jamesboy223 no its was brown and they made the kevlar helmets in like the late 80's

[ColonelCornMuffin]

@vietnamguy1223 I thank your dad for his service.

[pyramidheadkitten9]

where did you get the helmet camo and the scrim band? ive been looking for a long time but its hard to find via internet, and the military surpluses around where i live are useless.

[Samson8171]

@pyramidheadkitten9 imsplus.com

[FlyingBoxHead]

Well I hate to break it to you but that type of woodland camo wasn't used until the 1980s.

[Samson8171]

@FlyingBoxHead ya i i saw that it dosent bother me tho

[bloodline211]

[TheRealYaar]

@Samson8171 yes...lol

[Samson8171]

@TheRealYaar if i can find my tri pod haha

[TheRealYaar]

@Samson8171 HAHAHA lol k keep looking :)

[PinoyPogiman]

lots of vietnam helmets have the covers, it was army standard and it helped the soldiers even more in camo.

and in the covers they usually wrote on them they're names of their GF's, family, initials, or even a little personal touches like my favorite to add: "front towards enemy"

and sometimes the helmet can be considerably more valuable if you find the helmet band with those target markings, it could show the former soldiers confirmed kills ^^ COOL

[fishsauce1]

the cover is post Vietnam war [1980's] the chin straps are post Vietnam war [1973 - 1988] your helmet is a late issue never used in Vietnam war

[Samson8171]

@luzo0o0 ya i think the liner is 80's and i want to get new chinstraps i got it for my birthday about a year ago so i did not pay for it lol

[RonDarling12]

Cool Helmet! I got the same kind, just I have the mitchell cover instead of the Woodland

[dillonforemanm4a1]

ya nice helmet man i gotta get a mitchell cover for mine

[Samson8171]

@dillonforemanm4a1 thanks man
