a change from iraqi militaria ,this time to share a vietnam sun helmet ,the previous owner acquired the helmet back in 1990 while working in central vietnam and said it is from the early 1970's and made from compressed hardboard, it came from the roof space of a Vietnamese friends house,
The family were given the house by the Vietnamese government just after 1975 for service during the war. the inside shell has been repainted a light greyish colour cutting in around the label , the label has curled showing an olive green base coat underneath ,im still yet to fully learn the differences between this type and the earlier pavn helmets of the vietnam war period ,for display i have added the us chute camo under the scrim netting
