    Iraqi Camouflaged Helmet with Unit Insignia

    Post by nkomo on Tue Dec 07, 2010 5:34 am

    Ok....this one has remained a mystery for years. This was a surplus shop find at Ft. Knox in 1991. I have only seen one other of these helmets ever. The other one was sold on Ebay many years ago with a Republican Guard General's uniform grouping. Has anyone ever seen this helmet before or know what the unit marking is on the front?

    I found a picture of Iraq-Iran conflict. The Iraqi soldier is wearing what appeared to be a helmet in similar colour of your helmet however no camouflage pattern but just green helmet with tan circles on front on sides with black in then (unit marking?).
