Original South African M87 Kevlar Helmet with Cover and SAPHI Tag

Original Item. Only One Available. The M87 is a combat helmet of South African origin manufactured by South African Pith Helmet Industries (S.A.P.H.I) of Rosslyn.[1][2] The kevlar composite M87 replaced the steel M63 helmet during the late 1980s, and saw extensive use during the South African Border War, which took place from 1966 to 1989 in South-West Africa (Namibia) and Angola. It is the current standard helmet of the South African National Defence Force.

The helmet is in good overall condition with an original helmet cover with integral visor. The liner and chin strap are intact, and there is a label on the interior for S.A.P.H.I., which is not filled out.

Ready for display.
