1982 Falklands War Argentinian Army Combat Helmet

An interesting Argentinian Army camouflage helmet brought back as a souvenir from the Falklands campaign .
This striking helmet has a camouflage cover made from the ERDL camouflage army shirt & shows much wear to the inside & out. The cover is still firmly in place & is stained & grubby from heavy use. Its original rubber band is still present clearly having been on a very long time the weathering contrast visible when lifted. Argentinian forces used two types of M1 shell , those that came from American surplus stocks as is the case here & those that were made by Argentina themselves. As is typical on Falklands used helmets the metal fittings of the chinstrap have rusted . Liner displays the typical Argentinian depot refurbishment to rivets with much grime & wear throughout.
A 'been there' battle worn helmet from the Islands .
