US Army Military Helmet, ACH with Australian Helme
Very nice helmet recently brought back from Afghanistan by a British squaddie, the outside shell have nearly all its rought textured finish, inside has all pads and the chinstrap system is complete. The scarse camo cover is an Australian issued item with broad arrow marked tag and soldiers number penned to the front. At some time a joker has drawn a small ''prick'' to the top of the shell, soldier humour? Anyway this will come off with some hot water or paraffin if you wish. A very nice modern combat lid.
Irish Military Police Tactical Combat Helmet.
An Israeli produced combat helmet thats been reissued to the Irish military forces serving in Lebanon. Condition is very good with no damage to the outer lid or inside liner system. The painted red band and MP letters have survived in nearly complete condition with strong colour. Quite a scarse helmet to find on the market.
Falklands Argentine M1 Combat Helmet.
A very nice Falklands bring back Argentine M1 combat lid with cloth camo cover. This cover is a camo is not a standard type , it looks as if its made from a fragment of furniture or curtain that had a camo/leaf type design, its in nice used condition and has never been off this helmet. The helmet itself has had the usual Argentine upgrade with green type sweatband and numbered to the inside rim, it has the number 14 to the crown. As with all these bring back lids they are all in really used condition and have a certain smell to them. This is one of a few i have in my collection that i purchased from Welsh vetrans of the campaign and as seen in the pictures its never been messed with.
Post War U Boat Plaque, H.Ewerth.
Plaque is made from some sort of resin, its suffered from damage quite a bit but still together mounted on a solid bit of wood. H.Ewerth ended up being the commander of a post war U Boat flottila after serving many years in the German navy, he was also a major author on WW2 German U Boats and the son of a well known WW2 U Boat captain. Plaque measures around 10 inches by 12.
Boxed Webley Air Pistol, Juniour.
A very nice ''walk in '' to my shop is this boxed Webley air pistol, the box is in super condition, no knocks, snags, scuffs or sellotape, its in very strong condition, very bright colours, there is a couple of pen marks to the bottom and one hole, perhaps the size of a slug!!!! The pistol is again in very nice condition with well over 95% of its original finish, this has not been re-blued etc, there is no pitting just some very minor rust spotting, its so small that i was not going to mention it but there you are, the spring is as strong as the day it was made and the makers details stamped to the body are strong and clear. No damage to the grips. With this set came a period box of slugs, half full. FOR SALE TO OVER 18's AND UK ONLY.
