Afghan Kevlar PASGT Type Helmet

Definitely not US made. The quality on this helmet is beyond pathetic. Judging from the shrapnel hits, I highly doubt this soldier survived. The shrapnel holes come from the inside to the outside. The only mark on this helmet is an O in thecrown. It doesn't appear to have ever had a rubber strip around the outside. This one has been tenatively identified as Afghan used. Probably Chinese made for Afghanistan.

Got this from a former 3rd SFG soldier out of North Carolina. A tan painted PASGT helmet with airborne pad in the back. Can't make out the maker as the helmet has been used heavily over the years.
