Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I was researching the authenticity of a helmet badge I saw that might fit on my desert helmet & wrote a friend from Italy. He gave me some links & these pics are from one of them.

It always amazes me how much clothing was worn in the desert.

Any guesses to the model of rifle shown? :wink:

With all the badges on that fellow's helmet, I sure hope that wasn't a magnetic mine!!! :ow:

It doesn't look beat up enough for an M91-24... my best guess is that it's an M91-28. Not a TS since it has the banded front sight.

I'd like to see the handguard - I've read many were cut or tossed to keep the rifle cooler during prolonged firing. SW
