BRITISH ARMY M76 PARATROOPER HELMET

This is a nice British Army M76 Paratrooper helmet which is fitted with the camo netting and scrimmage to act as camouflage, this one is fitted with the more modern green chin strap, also still has its original label on the inside where you can make out the NSN and the size Small.

The M76 helmet has been issued since the Falklands war, replacing the World War II era Helmet Steel Airborne Troop.1failed verification The first variants were made from fibreglass, offering less protection than the Mk6 combat helmet. It also first came with vinyl/leather chinstraps; these were prone to wear, but later replaced with the previous but durable webbing chinstraps from the HSAT, which would later come in green webbing with a black leather chin pad. Later variants came with improved ballistic protection found on the Mk6 which are still in use today.
