[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2936868, member: 13284"] Great..thanks again Lasher. I'd love to see a photo if you run across one. The type of cover shown in the second photo was issued during the 1950's but were still in use well into the 1960's. The mosquito net covers are the same camo pattern, but the material is different (not herringbone twill), they're not reversible, and they also have a foliage band and netting attached. The cover on #2 is fairly dirty and would have appeared much more green in color when it was new. Other than the photo that I previously posted, I believe that all the other photographs of the 9th Marine Division that I have seen, they are wearing the Mitchell style covers. I just haven't been able to figure out who else may have been issued the solid OD covers. The chinstraps on the first helmet would have been more representative of a late 60's USMC helmet. They made use of airborne liners during this time...rumor is that they came out of 1st Cavalry and 101st Airborne supply. [/QUOTE]
