Vietnam "Leatherneck" - LIMITED EDITION

The iconic M1 helmet of the American helicopter-borne soldier during the Vietnam War. With its Mitchell helmet cover, cloth chinstrap, and accessories, it embodies the image of the GI during this conflict.

A bit of history

In 1960s America, factories restarted production of M1 shells to meet the needs of the Vietnam conflict. Although modernized, the design remained faithful to that of World War II. It featured a more matte paint job and simplified finishes, but still retained the same iconic shape that accompanied a new generation of soldiers into the hostile terrain of Southeast Asia.
