my iraqi helmet collection

[James C]

looks like the soldier behind him is wearing a Gallet of some description

Thanks for the pictures Battle gear the last one is quite striking ,I'm guessing its a veplas T91 ,do you think the cookie dough cover is purpose made ,it looks to have a rubber rim or has the material been forced under the edge maybe ,either way i wouldn't mind picking one up for my example Slovenia T91

I think the cookie dough cover was adapted from a standard PASGT helmet cover, I dont think it was made for the Veplas T91 , the Iraq soldier probably just fitted one to his helmet and tucked it in with the black rubber rim

here's a photo of an Iraqi with a PASGT helmet that appears to be too large on his small head

Thanks for your thought's Battle gear I've a spare pasgt cover that i might try out for a similar look ,as for the other photograph

Been a while since i last bought an Iraqi Helmet and judging by this thread getting close to two years since i last posted ,wow time flies ,this 1987 dated US stemaco ground troops pasgt looks to be a post Saddam New Iraqi army issue circa 2005+
The 6 colour Cookie dough covering is not a dedicated helmet cover as such but what looks a section of BDU material tailored to fit and bolted down for good measure and on the top dome i can see a small amount near illegible Arabic text ,That's if i could read Arabic that is but you know what i mean
