The underside of the brim is with heat temper number ‘M 674. The camouflage cover is constructed of twill material with machine sewn reinforced slits for additional foliage and is with the distinctive Mitchell camouflage pattern. The underside is marked with ‘COVER, HELMET, CAMOUFLAGE” and ‘CONTRACT No. 8189, 8415-261-6833 dating it to early 1965. The cover is held tightly in place by an original issue elastic band around the lower part which was also used for holding additional camouflaged. It is lightly faded from exposure to the sun and monsoon rains. The liner is dated ‘67’ and with cross over webbing to hold the dark OD green web suspension system together. The date on the leather sweatband is illegible, however the band remains completely intact.
