Hi, mates,

picked up this, israeli, "K-pot" some time ago.

Some of You guy´s has any informations ´bout this, particular, lid ?

I´m collecting combat knives, but, I´m interested in combat helmets also.
But, my knowledge in helmets is very poor ...

Thx. in advance,
R.

I know that the Dutch Army also used an inner tire tube on their netting/camo. I have that on my M53 helmet, so this is not uncommon to see. I can't tell you anything about your type of helmet, But i like it!

This is an Israeli manufactured helmet but the English language labels indicate that it is an export model. all Israeli helmet labels are in Hebrew and will also have the IDF property stamp צ.

Ireland used this model built to the same spec as the Israeli helmet, more modern exports have poorer quality liners.

The cover looks to be the IDF type, it looks like it will slip of, if it does it might have Israeli stamps on it.

You might be right, also the Austrian Gendarmerie Einsatzkommando (GEK) used such israeli helmets.
