PASGT USMC Special Operations Capable

[Redstalker]

Here I have a 1986 dated UNICOR manufactured helmet in size L-6. This one has seen a fair bit of use and has been repainted sometime in its life. Underneath the repaint at the rear I can see the faint outline of SOC 7 (special operations capable usmc) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spec...ations_Capable. There is more lettering to the front but can not make it out properly. This helmet comes with a nice gulf war period choc chip camo cover with no button holes and dated 1991 and a chemical protective cover dated 1990. Thanks for looking guys

Got a couple more pasgt helmets to put up one of them is rigged up for paratrooper use. Will get round to photographing them soon

Hi, bit late in commenting but this is a really nice example , I was an avid collector of the Pasgt until the prices became ridiculously high, but I am glad I managed to collect a few all the same, thanks for sharing your fine example!
