Splinter Camouflage Helmet Cover

[MAP]

Yes. That's who I thought. I saw his Norwegian surplus example too. Similar to mine but his example is of more recent conversion. I got mine when I was a young kid for my birthday. They were $19.95

Mine is here

Re My Unique Imports Helmet

And here is the catalog

Unique Imports catalog circa 1976/Helmet sales page

What ever helmet you get, make sure it fits the cover. Not sure if these Heer covers come in different sizes but the SS ones do and they tend to run small

The Cover is suppose to fit on a size 64 and 66, I will try for a 66 as the cover seem pretty big. I always love when I find old military surplus catalogs, it really shows how the prices have changed over what seems like a short amount of time.

The SS covers run small. Maybe the fabric has shrunk over time. I would shoot for a 64 but get what you can get.

MAP thanks for including the catalog picture. I love that part of collector history. Long before I came onto the scene. An older neighbor (much older than you or I) was telling me a story of buying bayonets out of a bayonet catalog in the 50s/60s. Fascinating and way more interesting to me than internet times

I bet the catalog I had in the 70's is still at my mothers house....somewhere.

As promised here are some photos of the cover on a proper helmet. It's an IMA Finish import helmet. No rust just some minor flaking of the paint which I knocked off so I wouldn't damage the cover. Not the best photos but what I was able to get when the helmet came.
