Hello to all,
here is the latest arrival, this "Light Weight Parachutists helmet" in the first fiberglass version with smooth surface, shell bolts in bare metal and three points chinstrap; the natural leather band (and not in black color) on the liner front, makes me think of an early production, maybe late 70s.
I found it equipped of a DPM GS Mk6 cover with the owner's name written on the back.
I do not know the origin of the n°83 painted hastily on front and back, I'm thinking it may have been a helmet used for training or exercise.
I'm not a great expert of composite helmet, but I thought that this example is an interesting piece, in my area it is not very common, and little known.
Every your opinion is very welcome.
Regards
Roberto
