Ciao,

 

I would like to show you my first MK6 helmet, i was looking for it since many years and finally i found my dream one for a good price. 

 

Shell is a early production smooth-finish of  1984 form National Plastic name and service number of first owner.

 

Cover is a desert dpm of a early '90 contract with name/service number/ blood type and 6 square of glint tape in side/back and top.

 

I think this helmet can be isert in Operation Granby (Gulf War) time frame.

 

I have 2 question:

 

- do you know if is possibile to identify the unit by service number?

 

- this huge use of glint tape is a common procedure or can be connected ti some specific branch? RAF/Navy for visibility - Para or commando for fast identification 

 

Thanks
