Marduk - DIY combat helmet

jimpanMon, 07/10/2013 - 10:54

A tribute combat helmet I made for marduk live shows. I made it of a plastic inner helmet (and a whitemarker pen) since I thought the guards would not like a metal one. But when I wore it on sepent sermon swedish tour in norrköping the guards almost took it from me! But I said "come an what damage can a plastic helmet do compared to bullet belts". It was a nice gig anyway and I got some nice beer/blood stains on it! I am going to see marduk again 10th of october hopefully I can get it signed aswell. *UPDATE* Managed to get the helmet signed by Morgan at their Serpent Sermon show in Gävle, Sweden!

Oh yeah. Is this the helmet liner used by the swedish army?
Can you upload pics of the inside of the helmet and the outer part as well?

I bought it some years ago at a swedish surplus store for a couple of bucks. I believe it is belgian made during the 50-60s and I guess the swedish army bought a big stock of these to use, however I do not think they used them. I can upload extra images of course, what exactly do you mean by outer part? Oh by the way the liner has been repainted black it was grey from the beginning. They also had blue-ish and green liners at the store aswell.

From what I understand there is a hard metal outer shell right?
Can I see that, as well as the straps inside the helmet?
I was in the army so I like to see how the stuff in other armies is different.

Sorry but they just sold the inner helmets so I do not got the outer shell. But I have read that they were equivalent to the american M1 helmets, maby you can google for belgian m1 helmet. However I can upload picture of the inside tomorrow perhaps.

Aah, ok no prob.
And thanks in advance for pics of the inside!
