    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?

    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.

    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
