Scotch Harry Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 A question regarding Airborne helmets,we all know that some reenactors and airsofters try to convert RAC shells into Airborne ones but would the military ever do such a thing? Pretty sure I remember seeing somewhere an official Canadian? conversion. Reason I ask is have recently bought what was described as a genuine post war Airborne helmet and when it arrived was surprised to see that the shell could well have been a RAC one as there are 2 holes either side where the chinstrap lug rivets appear to have been drilled out but there is no evidence of a hole where the top LTD stud would have been. It is fitted with a 1971 dated CWL liner. Quote
Scotch Harry Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 I havent as yet attempted to remove either the net or liner but will do so at some stage. Quote
