    Very ,very,very nice MZ.

    I am amazed that a PASGT lid of this age,was used this far into this conflict,I think I can make out 87?, love the camo scheme the PJ used...very cool.

    Goes with saying love the MSA too.

    Congrats on this lot Mate Wink

    That is an interesting skull patch. I know that certain SF ODAs in A-Stan use the "Punisher Skull" as their non official unit patch like in this picture.

    Believe it or not....I also have a TACP grouping in my collection that came with a modified PASGT helmet. Granted, it isn't as cool as MZ's, but the PASGT has been painted and had a ACH suspension and pads added to the inside. That was a direct vet purchase as well.

    Very cool lot. Modified PASGT and patches are the best in.

    The rig is Eagle Air Rescue Load bearing Vest model that comes with LBT-0263 200rd M60/SAW belt pouch, LBT-0246 universal radio belt pouch and two LBT 1qt canteen cover. This vest has been used by PJ for many years.

    The ODA in the picture used ANA Commando's punisher skull. If you take a look at our Commando patch thread, you would notice the difference but good observation.

    I believe there was a thread about Pro-tec helmet usage....yep, they were/are commonly used.

    Man MZ, you hit it out of the park yet again. Some great kit to be sure. That last medic rig; the one by Tactical & Survival Specialties, Inc. That is some top shelf, high dollar gear. I have a similar piece although not as operator rigged as yours. Popular gear with all manner of Cool Guys.

    You're the man MZ.

    Two items stand out of the crowd, the Eagle air rescue vest which is a hard to find vest nowadays, and the Blackhawk rig (Blackhawk Low Profile Chest Pouches) wich is a really really rare item. It's actually a copy of the old school LBT-1961A (there's a "PJ&CCT" version too).
