Original U.S. Vietnam War Era Unissued CVC T56-6 Combat Vehicle Crewman “Tanker” Helmet with Transceiver

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice US Vietnam War era Combat Vehicle Crewman (CVC) Helmet model T56-6. These Helmets were worn by crewmen aboard Tanks and other Combat Vehicles. The Helmet comes complete with headphones built in and adjustable microphone, which are attached to the Transceiver mounted on the left side of the helmet. The helmet appears to have never been issued out and still retains all original paint.

The CVC helmet was made of laminated ballistic nylon and was worn by crew members requiring access to a vehicle's communication system. The helmet was intended to offer head protection inside the vehicle but it did provide some protection against shrapnel. Both the Army and the Marine Corps used the CVC helmet in a number of vehicles. The name BAILEY is scribbled on the suspension.

Comes ready for display.
