20th Century Hi Cut Ballistic Composite Helmet

[Mark K]

Hi Cut Ballistic Compo sporting a custom made hessian and scrim cover IMO this particular example was produced by MSA...

The helmet weighs in at 1593 grams so just over 1.5 kilo's it has been fitted with a Fast Ops Core OCC Dial up liner with EPP padding, And a fit band head loc four point harness system with glass case and ballistic glasses.

As seen in the images below the helmet band is sporting a British service/Zap number with blood typing ,It is a known fact that certain elements of the British Special Forces used these particular types of helmets for a period of time...

It has been suggested by a knowledgeable friend and collector that it may have seen service in the SBS, the NVG mount on the front was designed for use on the ACH/MICH DE, and is now fitted with a Rhino Night vision mount with J arm and is sporting a dummy AN/PVS-14 Night Vision Monocle to use for the purpose of display..

As well as being outfitted with a Harris under the helmet tactical earpiece and microphone headset...
