An Argentinian combat helmet that has a bullet exit & entry hole from front to rear & a handwritten label cellotaped to the front of the helmet reading ' Mount Longdon 12-7-84' . Acquired from the Mount Longdon area on a visit two years after the conflict in July 1984 it is testament to the vicious fighting that took place there between ( In the main ) Argentinian troops of the 7th Infantry regiment & 3 Para . The bullet damage has passed through the shell & liner on both sides. After being brought back it hung in a pub for a while before changing hands. Helmet shell is an American produced example purchased by Argentina from surplus stocks with a green paint finish. The number '195' is painted to the inside . The liner shows typical Argentinian refurbishment with crude rivetting of the webbing system being typical. There is rust to the metal of the liner system with some decay to the webbing where left exposed to the elements for some time. This helmet comes from a recently rediscovered private collection I have just purchased of Argentinian items that were gathered from Falklands veterans in the 1980s' & 1990s'.
