polish army wz 2000

[James C]

Just to share my first composite of 2016 ,will it be the last who knows what i find interesting is the nosher style liner and chinstrap is what i believe to be from the wz 2005, so perhaps either upgraded or a transitional piece ,inside it does actually state 2000-5 i believe this one is manufactered by maskpol s.a the resal sp version has a darker webbing chinstrap and also usually a black not green bumper rim ,now i know that maskpol manufactured a 3 point as well as a four point chinstrap wz 2005 shell so this one makes it all the more intriguing ,see here also the profile compared to my earlier wz 93 example ,well another composite for the shelf just need to track down a wz 2005 now it never ends does it

Very nice lid James. Once I kick my addiction to the M1 I may start picking up more of these composite lids for my collection I think I have 5 but could be more

Thanks ian and ppp i would gladly like to see what you have in your composite collection ,and thanks too paul ,always glad to to hear your thoughts mate ,i decided to dig out all my polish helmets today in between the rain and hail

My composite list is very short - this isn't my cup of tea. You can see there only PASGT, ACH, MkVI, MkVIA and MkVII.
For this moment I've got only below pics.

Very nice example's ppp with a very british theme ,interesting to think even though im welsh i have a huge interest in polish helmets ,im still trying to come to terms with the last helmet you post with the oversize chin mandable ,is the ballistic shell you show a wz 2000 ,it certainly looks like one ,whats the story behind it ,a test piece for the ballistic qualities or pre production ?

[ppp p]

Thanks, James. Yes, You're right - naked helmet is a Polish wz.2000. I'm not sure exactly what it is. Pre production piece sounds good also for me.
