08SMLE48 - what is the second helmet in your Post please ? I’m particularly interested in the NVG Mount and, sadly, the strap colour.....

[08SMLE48]

It’s the new current issue USMC enhanced combat helmet. It replaced the lightweight Kevlar a couple years ago.

Thanks Michael i will definitely be in contact next time we all make the journey across the pond to NYC

This has been a second year of decline in acquisitions for me, probably due to the focus on (and cost of) our book........tho I started the year promising to only buy really nice civil Brit MkIIs.......so much for promises!! :-)

Here's the plastics:-



...I think they've all been here individually so nothing exciting......tho I think next years promise should be "enough of the Mk7 and Iraqi lids already!!" :-)

Keep 'em coming guys!
