Mark K Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I was very happy to receive this Protec Bump Helmet that is said to have been SF used as part of a grouping that I purchased last year from an advanced US collector.. Protec Bump helmets were used by US Special Forces ,Delta and Navy Seals for many years and saw extensive service in Mogadishu, Panama and during the first Gulf War and can be seen in period images being used in this configuration with the black liner shown in this example and a water friendly white foam liner as well... There was also cut down version and the ear protectors were removed ... The cut down version can be seen being used in the film Black Hawk Down by the Delta team members... and This of course is the full uncut version and it has been over painted in desert tans and shows extensive use with abrasions scrapes and scuffs to the exterior of the helmet body just the way I like them used and not abused...
