WOW Greg, you've got some good eyes (or mine are just that bad)! I tried to read that lable and it just looked like black lines on white to me. I was leaning towards a MICH myself, as so many of...

Greg, I'm going to reserect this old thread to ask you if you were ever able to identify what type Kevlar helmet it is that Kris displayed as his current jump helmet. I don't have too much...

Kris thank you very much. I was hoping it was just that simple and that there was not some type of adopted "standard" tube and dimension that would be next to impossible to replicate. Looks like...

Krikke, if I may, I'd like to take advantage of the fact that we have a first hand user of the M71 and ask you a question regarding the rubber band on the helmet. Of course we read all the time...

I have to say, this sure has turned out to be a great thread highlighting a couple of seemingly under appreciated helmets. Thank you all for the great input and the photos! Russ

Great looking display James, very inspirational!

Good thing, because I am taking notes from Greg....;)

Now this sure would be nice. I've picked up a couple of these West German BW helmets recently and do plan to collect a few more but man oh man, trying to get the skinny on what is what. Through...

James, it is plain, no bells and whistles. We'll keep our eyes peeled for a nice cover for it and maybe make up a rubber band. Had my eye on one all dressed up but it was quite expensive. I will...

P.S. James, I posted those Bulgarian M36's in another thread as told you I would. Here is the link.
...

James, I share your sentiments. This "helping" with the kids collection has certainly turned into a bit of a "helmet" thing for me as well. Several of the high dollar lids I'd like to put on the...

Thanks BG...guess I have just been looking in the wrong place!

I've been searching the net and have not yet found an example of the Belian M71 with the original M1A1 LL liner. Can anyone show me one?

So there are examples of the Belgian M71 that posess the original M1A1 Para liner? I have not seen an example of one of these nore have I come across any information that indicating this. Very...

Could it be that the Belgians simply wanted the best of both worlds with the W German M1A1 Para shell being superior to the French F1 Shell and the French F1 liner being more to their liking than the...

I will post a new thread, with all the new treasures, some time tomorrow morning ;)

James, the M71 I purchased was not from the guy in Italy, it was a local eBay purchase and if fact arrived today. I sure do like that camo and banded on however. I'll snap some photos of all the...

I was considering purchasing the lower pictured M71 and might regret getting the one we just got instead of that nice camo and banded one. He's got a couple other helmets I'd like to have as well. ...

We have a Type B on the shelf now and a Type A and Type C sitting in a box at the post office. He was talking about M36's a few months back so I though I'd suprise him with one and after doing a bit...

Will do James, just paid for it this morning so hopefully we will see it by early next week, it is shipping from here in the states. Kid does not know about this one, will be a suprise. Also have 2...

Another great looking lid James. I have been watching one of these on eBay, for the past week, and believe it or not, just won it about an hour ago. Does not have the camo or band however, as yours...
