Bullet Holed ( Entry & Exit ) 1982 Falklands War Argentinian Netted Camouflage Helmet

A bullet impact & exit damaged camouflage netted Argentinian combat helmet from the Falklands campaign with rosary beads from the personal possessions of an Argentinian soldier.
This iconic combat helmet shows a bullet entry point to the front crown area with a larger exit hole to the rear from the same round. It is quite evident that upon entry & exit it has severed a portion of the string net on both sides with correlating bullet damage to the liner on the inside & also to its webbing straps. Helmet shell & liner are Argentinian produced with deeper seated chinstrap bales than the US issues. Helmet net displays a distinctive green to its unweathered areas when liner is lifted , this a textbook Argentinian issue net. Much weathering & heavy wear to chinstraps . Comes with the Rosary beads pictured which I am lead to believe were on personal issue to the troops.
