vietnam goggles Original U.S. Vietnam War Army 1st Special Forces Airborne Paratrooper – International Military AntiquesOriginal Item: Only One Available. The M1 helmet is a combat helmet that was used by the United States military from World War II until 1985, when it was succeeded by the PASGT helmet. For over forty years, the M1 was standard issue for the U. S. military. The M1 helmet has become an icon of the American military, with its design inspiring other militaries around the world. Many were also supplied to U. S. allies during the 50 years following WWII.

Original Item: Only One Available. The M1 helmet is a combat helmet that was used by the United States military from World War II until 1985, when it was succeeded by the PASGT helmet. For over forty years, the M1 was standard issue for the U.S. military. The M1 helmet has become an icon of the American military, with its design inspiring other militaries around the world. Many were also supplied to U.S. allies during the 50 years following WWII. This example is marked on the right side with the U.S. Army 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne) insignia, and on the left side with the Special Forces Distinctive Unit Insignia. The special forces were very active during the Vietnam war, however they were not a large group, so all of the items they used are quite rare.

The helmet comes with a set of GOGGLES SUN WIND AND DUST that are dated 1974, which came with the helmet. They would definitely have come in handy for Airborne units, particularly if transported by Helicopter, which would raise immense amounts of wind and dust.

Vietnam War era M-1 helmet shells have a set of swivel (movable) chinstrap loops called bales and a stainless steel rim with a rear seam. These rims were both rust resistant and had non-magnetic qualities that reduced the chance of error readings when placed around certain sensitive equipment (such as a compass).

These shells were for the most part identical to late war manufactured helmets, and the only real way to identify them is with the heat lot code. The code on this helmet looks to be 1235 A, though it is not entirely clear. This could be a very late WWII issue shell, reissued for use in Vietnam, but without removing the interior paint, it would be impossible to tell.

This helmet is a fine example and still retains all of its original Vietnam War parts and the shell has all original corked grain paint. The inner shell paint is also in great shape.

The liner is correct high pressure 1960s issue liner, marked simply with U.S. / 5 / M11, for an unknown manufacture. The liner is a correct paratrooper liner, and looks to have been set up like that from the factory, though unfortunately the right side securing snap has broken off. It has correct paratrooper chin strap mounting straps, though the chin cup itself is missing. The shell has the correct standard chin strap, with additional extensions to snap onto the liner, though at some point they were flipped around, and do not properly mount to the liner. The sweatband is unfortunately missing.

The camouflage cover is original and in very good condition. It has some stains and small holes around the edge, but is definitely solid, with the expected wear from use. It is marked on the underside of one of the flaps with the contract information:

COVER, HELMET CAMOUFLAGE
CONTRACT No. DSA 100-67-C-3637
FSN-8415-261-6833

This is a great piece of Vietnam War memorabilia, marked to the U.S. Army Special forces! Ready to display!

Good product
Size: 2.5", Style: Closed Hooks
Strong magnets that stay on wall once applied. Definitely holds the weight that it says it holds on the product. Good size to hold my halters in my barn. Would buy again and I think the price was a little high for this product, but it was worth the purchase.

Versatile and Sturdy Storage Solution
Size: 2.5" & 4" - 4 Pack, Style: Open Hooks, Size: 2.5" & 4" - 4 Pack, Style: Open Hooks
The GATOR MAGNETICS Open Storage Hook has been a great (pricey) solution for adding hooks that are strong and useful. Its simple yet robust design makes it incredibly versatile for various uses around the house. The hook feels sturdy and durable, capable of holding a surprising amount of weight without bending or warping. Installation is as easy as blinking your eyes; the really strong magnets allow for easy attachment to any magnetic surface, and the hook remains securely in place. I've used it for hanging lights and bags in my office and bedroom, providing a neat and accessible storage solution in any setting. The open design ensures quick access to items without the hassle of removing them from a closed loop, which is a fantastic convenience. The magnet seems to be protected well enough with a rubber surface so that I don't have to worry about damaging my tables that I have attached these hooks. In terms of value for money, this storage hook is pricey but no competition that I've seen with the same level of durability and convenience. I'm impressed by its performance and versatility, making it a must-have for anyone looking to organize their space efficiently. Pros: Sturdy and durable build quality Easy magnetic installation on metal surfaces Versatile usage for multiple items Convenient open design for quick access Doesn't damage surfaces Cons: None that I've encountered so far! (Maybe price?) Overall, I highly recommend the GATOR MAGNETICS Open Storage Hook for its durability, versatility, and exceptional functionality. It's a small investment that brings significant organization and efficiency to any space.

Amazingly strong and versatile
Size: 2.5" & 4" - 4 Pack, Style: Open Hooks
I saw these advertised on Instagram and immediately purchased a 4 pack. I really wanted them to work but after trying them on 4-5 different steel surfaces I couldn't'[t get any of them to stick well or hold anything heavier than a wet towel. Maybe a bad batch? A shame. The company took the time to reach out to me after seeing my first review where the hooks wound stick to metal poles in my studio. I definitely was not expecting them to reach out to address my issues with the hooks I purchased and returned. After trying the new replacement hooks out I now could not be more impressed! They are strong, well made and easy to use. The hooks and the magnetic baskets are phenomenal and I highly recommend them. I did a test with the hooks, which held a 75 lb weight with no issues on the side of a craftsman tool box! It seems that any early product issues are fixed. The customer service is fantastic and they really took the time to address the issues and keep their customers coming back happy. Well done! Gator Magnetics is definitely a class act in my book!

25 lb hanger doesn’t hold my Echo trimmer
Size: 4" - Red, Style: Open Hooks, Size: 4" - Red, Style: Open Hooks
Purchased the holders for my Echo trimmer and hedger but the tines are not long enough to hold the Echos. A picture in the description shows a gas powered unit hanging which is why I bought the hangers. Buy the larger 45 lb hanger for trimmers. Nice hook but I’ll probably send them back if i can’t find a use for them soon.
