    Hi guys

    I am posting a query for a friend and hope that someone here may be able to help?

    Here is one his finds from the 2007 SOS.

    In his words:

    It is an ARVN helmet with the hard to find factory cover. However, the liner holds some tantalising mysteries and is very interesting...

    The liner has a camo scheme applied and a 4 letter stencil on each side of it.

    Initially i thought the stencil corresponded to a police unit "Canh Sat Da Chien", but of course the letters are not in the correct sequence for that.

    The mystery is further compounded by the addition of an airborne style chinstrap arrangement of the type i tend to see in French Indochina pieces which does indeed give it a Paratrooper flavour...

    Your help and suggestions most welcome Gents!
