Article about: I seem to be on a bit of an Israeli helmet kick the last few weeks and have recently purchased two other examples to add to my collection one of which was an M-1 with the three point harness

hi mark and a great score ,well i am really fond of this example for sure and exhibits just the right amount of issued wear the hebrew labels are nice to see and all present and correct,i notice the cover has a different fitment ,mine is a simple drawstring but i see yours is similar to the us pasgt style velcro tabs i wonder if it is a reversable camo pattern cover ,mine shows green and brown but is reversable to a light tan ,ive yet to pick up the mitz nefet to add over the helmet supposedly designed to break up the profile of the helmet ,am very pleased for you and look forward to your in hand pictures if you do strip off the cover which im sure you will ,could you throw the irish cover on just to see the result ,i know i asked last time when it was fitted to the brit mk6 ,with your kind permission id like to show you a reminder picture of my example when fully decked out with all the trimmings ,regards james

James please do show your example and yes of course I will refit with the Irish cover as per you request.
I am rather curious myself as to the camo cover time will tell and I am very excited to add an example to my collection it has been a good couple weeks for helmet's Indeed.
Intrestingly enough I seen an export model this morning that has been tagged in English instead of Hebrew and is reportedly an export model from Israel to Ireland.
Regards Mark

Fantastic model Mark, the markings and cover are superb, it is really useful to be able to see the labels with Hebrew script too

Many thanx Gary there are a few other Israeli used helmets on my wants list I have been on the hunt for an Israeli produced copy of the US M 38 tankers helmet but they do not come up for sale very often.
Regards Mark

mark is it right the tanker helmet you mention is the one that is more a liner with the m1 shell fitted for protection atop ?
