'took a flyer on this one recently. It came from Poland...tho that tells us very little in the world of helmet mobility and cross-border application. I've found Police variants (with different visor brackets/catches). Made by Moratex...my only other Moratex lids were Polish. The liner is effectively a thin layer of foam glued to (and now coming away from) the inner shell....and it comes with a bit of cloth printed in the same way as Pantera...that's gotta be proof of identity right?......'bung a bit of camo on it and that proves validity, nationality, value etc etc. I've taken the cover off and it's green....and smooth....and I THINK there's evidence of an early Lufty "droop tail" decal.........I was told that it was used by the equivalent of "top gunners" on their wheeled vehicles......but we're all told a lot that turns out to be rubbish right?
If there are any Polish Army top-gunners out there I'd very much value and appreciate confirmation or otherwise :-)
...having said all that, nowadays it could simply be worn by Postmen or Waitrose delivery drivers (other lower quality Delivery companies are available)...either way, 'nice tho innit?
oh and I lied about the decal.......
I was going to post simply "WTF?"....with no pics......'be interesting to see if I get as many replies as that would :-)
