I saw James posting his Iraqi helmets and decided to pitch in mine! I got this one last year, and while at first glance it may seem the typical Korean export m80, it really does turn out to have a lot of personality!
It shows obvious signs of heavy use. The metal hardware is rusted, the webbing appears to be blood-stained, and only half of the right chinstrap remains. The leather sweatband is fragile and cracked, probably due to the hot climate it was used in. I'm not sure what the red and green smudges are.
I hope you guys like it!
