Four new helmets we added to the shelf over the past few weeks. Nothing special, but we like them. All are post war M-1 clones.
Iraqi M90 - These helmets were manufactured by Iraq and used during the second gulf war. Due to poor construction, which lead to the rim chipping and delaminating, the rubber bumper was added for extra rim protection.
West German M1A1 M81 - This example is a modernized M62 fitted with the new 3 point chin strap.
Israeli produced M1 - We are going to dress this helmet up with a burlap cover and rubber band.
Austrian M58 Stahlhem Type 2 - The mfr stamp is all but gone, you can just make out that the stamp did exist. The last two digits are barley readable, under good light and look to be a 7 and a 2, which would make sense.
For comparison, our Iraqi M80 and newly acquired Iraqi M90
