Original Iraqi Made M80 Helmet with Jihm Stamp
Up for sale is a very unusual, and rare, original Iraqi made M80 helmet. Iraqi made helmets are all marked with a Jihm stamp on the brim of the helmet, as noted on this example. The overall exterior shows its age and use with a consistent and honest wear to the green overpaint. The inside is missing its canvas webbing – but this was a common occurrence for battle field pickups, as the smell on the webbing from use during combat was sometimes strong enough for soldiers to remove it completely.
