Camo M16 Complete, in a sleepy musuem

[ww1czechlegion]

Here's a nice complete M16 Camo helmet in a sleepy museum. I was almost able to purchase it from the museum in 2007. So close, but "no cigar" back then. They won't sell it today, for any amount of money.

The chinstrap is fully intact, just not fastened to the lugs on one side. All 3-pads are present in in good shape.

It's made by the harder to find "Quist" company, with the nice "Q" logo. It was fun to handle it again, and take photos of it recently.

I really love the pattern, which is more unusual with the curved lines, and the large brown "Y" on the front.

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting these photos Alan, that is a very unusual camo pattern.

Yes unusual indeed.
I had 2 that were the point of being bizarre .
One had a black circle painted on it over ochre right in the middle of the front brow !!!!
And another with a tan patch reminiscing a shattered tree branch that would be possibly on the trunk of a tree.
I wished I would at least taken a picture of them before I sold them.
