This white metal set consists of 6 parts: 3 with camouflaged helmet covers (one of them also with goggles), one with a soft fully-brimmed hat, one with a soft field cap and one with a tam. These are all MODERN type head gear.
There is a card included in the set that has black and white illustrations of these heads.
These heads are very well sculpted and detailed and will prove to be better heads for some plastic figures of modern G.I.'s.
I had this set willed to me, along with many other old VLS sets by a fellow modeler who died of cancer years ago.
VLS sets mostly are tan resin ones, but there have been as handful of white metal ones like this set. VLS sets are historically short-run items and disapear fast off the market.

I am willing to sell these heads at a good price + postage.
