Helmet Cover Vietnam Mitchell pattern original 1970 dated W/field Repair (MIT3)

Description

This is an original as found US M-1 helmet
cover
. This the Vietnam era Mitchell pattern cover and is 1970 dated.  The stamp is on a dark spot and hard to see in the picture. I have inked it on a piece of tape for reference purposes. This is the real thing and has a good patina and wear pattern. It has normal wear. This has a field repair just over one of the bale arches. (see pictures)  This has not seen the light of day in 40+ years. It is just out of long term storage. We took a couple of pictures with the cover mounted on a helmet (
helmet not included
) where you can see the wear and patina. The first couple of pictures are of the cover off the helmet. Don't miss a good original.
