Lovely helmet!
Seems this M80 had some modifications added to the shell.
Insignia is a bonus! I'm sure other members can read arabic.

Cheers,

Great find!....

[Aleksander P]

Great helmet! These for surely will rise immensely in value, during the coming years. Especially this, because it's a battle worn one.

very nice example kradman ,there is no doubting its originallity ,also it was common to see west german bundeswehr netting fitted ,alas all thats left is the mounting brackets ,thanks for showing by the way this is what the net should look like fitted here on my bw helmet

[SteveR]

The painted insignia is a definite plus.

[Opex]

Excellent addition kradman , and as already mentioned ,it is extra special with the original finish and script.

James, very impressed with your BW example which clearly shows the net style
