INDONESIAN? Sold as Indonesian, it certainly has some characteristics in common with other Indonesian types. Apparently developed/converted from the South Korean product often known as the M80 Corlon. It has no label, markings, stampings of any kind. |

The liner-retention band is actually rivetted-in permanently, not removable. |
|
The headband is secured with pop-studs. |

Compare the liner rivet array of the suspected Indonesian (left) with a known SKorean product (right). They appear similar until it is seen that the positioning of the upper line of rivets is actually different. The two rivets fore and aft of the trinangular chinstrap-rivet cluster are in fact blind rivets serving no purpose in this configuration. |
The nape-strap is of a very different construction in the 'Indonesian' (left) compared to the known SKorean (right). |
|
Weight is 864g, compared to the SKorean example - apparently same size - at 966g |
