Helmet -
Actual steel pot helmet converted to a Marine helmet just like
they did it in the movie. All helmet parts (ear flap, camera, and
frontal lobe plate) are riveted, or screwed THROUGH the steel. In
other words, they ain't gonna fall off.
The helmet also has an accurate resin cast camera lens,
and the two lobster plates hanging off the back of the helmet. The
lobster plate strapping is also threaded THROUGH the steel, as opposed
to just riveted to the liner. The ear flap, camera and lens are cast
in resin. The ear flap has a donut cushion for your ear, and an
accurate microphone and boom that can easily be converted into a working
mike. Also, the camera lens can be unscrewed and a real Pentax lens can be attached in its place in under 30 seconds with no tools.
All Helmets will no longer include Helmet Liners. Helmets will have to be lined with foam padding by the buyer, or they will have to purchase a liner separately. We apologize for this, but M1 Helmet Liners are becoming incredibly scarce and hard to find.
Steel Helmets will no longer include Chin Straps. They can be purchased separately. We apologize for this as well, but the original Vietnam style chin straps are also becoming very hard to find!
Helmet Liner
Surplus Helmet Liners are getting harder and harder to find. If you want one with your armor, you will have to order it separately. The condition of the liners varies greatly. Some look new, and some are really old and badly beaten. Sadly, these are not being made anymore, so we get what we can get.
Chin Straps
Chin Straps are also becoming harder to find, so we will no longer include them on the Steel Helmets. If you want a set, you can order it separately and install them yourself.
Testimonials
Each
helmet is unique
since I buy them all surplus. Some come in excellent condition,
some have a dent or two in them, and still others look like they've
been to LV426 and back again.
So, if you want your helmet pristine, battle damaged, or beaten to hell,
I'll gladly accommodate if I can, it all depends on what condition helmets
I have on hand.
The helmets are available
separately from the rest of the armor, and we seem to actually make
more helmets than we do of any other prop. In fact, most of our helmet
customers own someone else's armor, and want our helmets to finish the
suit.
