Gibraltar Industries PASGT US Military Advanced Combat Helmet Black Size M 1987

---

US Armed Forces PASGT Ballistic Helmet – Size Medium

This is a genuine PASGT (Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops) ballistic helmet, which served as the standard-issue combat helmet for the U.S. military from the early 1980s through the mid-2000s. Designed to provide protection against ballistic threats and fragmentation, the PASGT system marked a significant upgrade in personal protective equipment at the time.

• Size: Medium

• Material: Kevlar® (ballistic fiber)

• Color: [Insert color, e.g., Olive Drab, Coyote Brown, etc., if applicable]

• Manufacturer: Likely Gibraltar Industries (based on visible markings and research, though the label is partially illegible)

• Model Number: Illegible/difficult to read due to wear

Notes:

• Based on the partial DLA number, it clearly dates the helmet was made in 1987, and Gibraltar was a main manufacturer during this year.

• Based on research and comparison with other units, there is a high likelihood (approx. 90%) this helmet was manufactured by Gibraltar Industries, a known contractor during the PASGT production era.

• The interior labeling has worn significantly, making full identification challenging.

• This helmet is being offered as-is and is intended for collectors, reenactors, or educational display. It should not be used for ballistic protection, as its integrity cannot be certified.
