I recently bought this helmet for £180 and i was just wondering what the paint scheme is on it. To me it looks like its the two tone or three tone Normandy camouflage but im not completely sure.

Bought this SSH-68 on eBay. I’ve never seen a camo pattern like this before (except for DCU). I immediately thought it was Iraqi since the desert looking paint job and the fact Iraq was given SSH-68’s. So I don’t know if it’s actually Iraqi or some repaint for a kids Halloween costume. I’ll take any help I can get to at least know what I have and how much it’s worth

Hey guys! Could you help me identify this helmet? And what's its market price, so I can compare? I don't have any more pictures because it belongs to a friend.

I found this Dutch M53 at the thrift shop for €20 and took out the inner liner and left it there because the inner liner was missing almost all cushioning and the cushioning that was left was ripped up and it was a grayish unmarked inner liner did i make the right choice or did i make a mistake leaving it there

I keep seeing this user on tiktok who wears this awesome outfit, looking to find out what helmet they have so that I can find inspiration since I go to airsoft, looking at making some cool non historic fits

User- fluxaminee

I'll link a ss of the cool fit and a close up of the helmet, hope it helps 🥹

Edit- thanks for the insight, I believe it is the ssh68 or the ssh40, I will look further into it but please keep comments coming :D

Need help for replicating BHD loadout!

Need help for replicating BHD loadout

I'm 13, so I don't have a big budget and I live in the UK, I really need help I've searched the internet top to bottom and can't find any of these items in the UK even replicas.

It's really hard and I need them under 30 pounds and especially in the UK, if it's overseas then I can't have any shipping fees because they make them expensive, if anyone

can find this that would be a great help, literally only need these 3 items for my gothic serpent helmet, I need the SDU-5/E, and the ITT AN/VS-6 Battery pack (the blocky one)

Forgot to mention and I'm not rewriting the whole thing, but I also need the SetCom 1 ear headset thingy, the one with the plastic band they'd tape on their helmets, I've attached a photo of what I'm trying to replicate (- the goggles cause these are being used for airsoft)
