'been a while since the above question......'just wondered???

Thank you. So we know they were making(?)/issuing(?) smooth Mk6 into 1987.

...and sadly, here's another question....would ones helmet have been RECALLED to be refurb'd or would it have happened as...

Mr (or Mrs?) Bendy....welcome...anyone who’s actually USED “stuff” is soooo welcome here...most of us just acquire it and wonder. Please add what you can, where you can about kit.

see post 69......no Mk6's?.......or have you all gone to Facebook?

OK, so that's a great starting point....so I think the question becomes:-

Has anyone got a SMOOTH Mk6 helmet dated (production NOT refurb) 1987 or after....or a textured Mk6 (refurb'd) dated 1987...

We need to divide the Mk6 dates......smooth and textured.........when did they start refurbing smooth Mk6s?

I always assumed that at the start there were a number of small volume contracts and a number of suppliers....but as things progressed NP monopolised production...have we looked at the dates of all...

Thank you....a number of us have wondered re the role of the serial number.......

Thanks mate......there's a lot of Theorists here (inc me) and a handful of practitioners (like you)....I always find that just when WE think we've cracked something a "squaddie" (sorry) turns up and...

So we already have a "new" Brit Virtus....well, different-ish. This is better documented in the Virtus thread but it now seems to be issued without the mini rails and has a new camo cover which goes...

....as long as it generates more non-TR posts I don't give a flying ............. ! :-)

OK I've given this a great deal of thought....well, 11 minutes to be precise......this Thread is about dates.....so Refurbs DO count (on THIS thread)

My thread, my rules!

Seriously tho mate it’s a good point....are we talking about MADE or USED......????

We probably need two sets of dates per lid.........doh!!!!

Update

On the back of my latest Mk6 acquisition I think our Ealiest/Latest label dates are now:-

Mk6 1984 (numerous) - 2014 (Composite)
Mk6A 2007 (Composite) - 2013 (Old Steel)
Mk7 2009 (Mark...

Looks pretty 6-y to me.....

The Morgan bit is an interesting observation.....

...b*gg***d if I know!.......GRRRREEEEGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

...as they say at all good Club doorways...."if it aint on the label...it aint getting in"....but it is....so it will...... 1983 it is for Mk6 - thank you Mr P

OK...an update (and also some prompts posted to other threads)...the latest Start and End dates we have (from actual helmet labels) seems to be:-

Mk6 1984 (numerous) - 2011 (Rene)
Mk6A 2007...

...and we mustn't forget....will this be "contructed" date....or "refurbished" date...???

but...back to the work...having checked mine (where labels exist) I think my earliest Mk6 is 1984...and my...

thank you...but you know what Greg's like...he'll wanna see the label! :-)

...so, what are the LATEST dated Mk6 and Mk6As out there?....Rene's thrown down the gauntlet (Mk6 2011)???

you know, sometimes....just sometimes....you can be a real pain in the @*$£! :-)

...got myself a 2010 dated Mk6 (not 6A) yesterday.....shan't bother with pics....it's green..there's a label...blah blah......

As you well know, I'm dedicating my life to the search for your rubber darts BUT IF I get any, you must commit to Youtubing yourself trying to fit them....that's gonna top rocking on the dining room...

so...we kinda got there.....

Mk6 1985
Mk6A 2005
Mk7 2009
Virtus 2015

...and my chat with the boys'n'girls in green in the summer educated me further in that at least one of them was waiting...
