Are there any names in the helmets or are there only the Jaish stamps ?

From memory I think there's something written in one, but as I don't speak or read Arabic, I kind of ignore it...

Cheers Mark, it's either a bullet or shrapnel strike I'd say...must've given the guy a shock if he was wearing it!

Well you know how I feel about my lids @Bil4338 and that Iraqi M-90 just oozes character and I can only imagine what that would have been like if he was wearing that helmet at the time of impact ...

Regards Mark
