And a little sneak peak at an Argentinian M-2 Airborne helmet I am currently waiting on in the post these are extremely hard to source and I am quite pleased to add an example to my shelf the helmet and liner were produced by ( FM ) Direccion General De Fabricaciones Militares and it is how I like them showing genuine wear indicative to a field used helm I will write a proper informative post on it's arrival and once I can take a few better outdoor pics..
Argentine para helmets are rare , thats going to be a nice addition to your helmet collection! the photo of the soldiers is interesting, I never saw leather ankle supports like those before?
Thanx BG and yes I have been after an example for a number of years and this particular helm ticked all the right boxes as it were..The leather ankle jump supports are indeed interesting and better images can be found at the link below..
