My first FJ helmet

[PerMilitaria]

Hi all!

My name is Per and I'm soon 18 years old and I live in Sweden.

I have now got my first and only FJ helmet. It is a bit rusty men I like it very much! No liner or decals (what I can see). I got it from a friend here on WAF for free. I send him many thanks!

Now, take a look at my beautiful FJ helmet!

Best wishes from Per.
