Second Gulf War Iraqi ‘Fedayeen Saddam’ Darth Vader helmet

Description

Ultra rare and seldom seen so called ‘Darth Vader Helmet’ from Saddam Hussein’s personal paramiliary organisastion. A bit like the SS-Leibstandarte from Adolf Hitler. The black Darth Vader style helmet was worn by the black-uniformed Fedayeen, as Uday Hussein, commander of the Fedayeen and eldest son of Saddam, was reportedly an avid fan of Star Wars. The helmet shell is made of fibre glass, with a nylon webbing cradle. Fixed to the right side was a moulded rubber Fedayeen badge, which consisted of a silhouette of Saddam and the motto; Allah al-watan qa’ed (God, homeland, leader). This badge is not present anymore, was probably lost in combat. A unique and very desirable helmet, seldom offered for sale.
