    Looking to sell a few bits which I've been gathering over the last year or so for different loadouts...

    First up is a Pattern 58 webbing, condition excellent.
    Also comes with a spare belt and ammo pouch.
    Here's a few pics and a pic (from the net) of how it's worn. €60.

    Second is a backpack - not sure of the country but I bought it in Fance a few years back. It's waterproof and got loads of storage and could match the 58 or most other OD loadouts/looks. Great condition.
    €20
    Pic as soon as I get it taken.

    Third up is a US M1-type steel helmet. Come with the liner (large size about 60 I'd say) and a US Woodland cover and a netting cover. Chin strap doesnt fasten but when are they ever closed...:rolleyes:
    Suitable for WW2 or NAM type looks. €50

    What's the date stamp on the M1 liner out of curiosity? Should be on at the back of the head on the inner strap.

    €50 for a bonafide M1 in good condition is insanely cheap so my interest has been piqued

    It's just described as a M1 Type helmet. If it was a genuine issued US M1 - I'd be keeping it or flogging it on greedBay.;):D

    Probably some nato issued country surplus who got em or something similar... I've no idea tbh but it doesnt seem to be one of the modern repro's.

    I'll have a goo at the liner and see if there are any stamps etc.

    Hi Horse
    I'd be happy with 40 and to send inc postage for 45. Maybe might cost a few euro on top (if ya want it registered).

    I'll get a weight to get an idea of cost if you're still interested?

    Offer E60 posted for the M56 webbing. Just to be clear, its the harness, belt and an ammo pouch?

    Yep, there's the harness which has 2 ammo pouches, 2 kidney pouches, poncho roll, and a belt and holster.
    There's also another belt with an ammo pouch which I'm including.
    It's Pattern 58 (not M56 webbing) by the way.

    If you are still interested - offer accepted, if not - no problemo.

    Yeah cool, to PMs :)

    The liner says 1969 but the helmet shell is newer than the liner.

    I'm no wiser but '69 is a cool :D:D:D

    Oh welll; bit late back in as I see Horse has jumped (pardon the pun) on the helmet.

    Cheers defenderdude for clarifying
