Hi all..
Still sorting through my haul from this years War & Peace!!..
Picked up this nice salty Orlite 201.... Ex Israeli... then later used with the Irish Defence Forces..(from one IDF to another!!)
The original Israeli stickers in Hebrew are still visible.... conveniently still in place after a half-hearted attempt to scrape the old labels off...and can be clearly seen under the Irish issue stickers!!! (see pics)
when I picked it up from the stallholders table it had the early olive cover...(I picked up the Irish woodland cover from another trader .....later on....)
Now.....as i removed the olive cover, to try my new Woodland one on....for fit... I was greeted with an unexpected surprise!!!...a helmet net matrix, held on with black tape!!..im guessing... Irish Defence force added!????
I really like the history of this new addition to my collection!!!
