Iraqi 'Fedayeen Saddam' Darth Vader style Helmet

Iraqi 'Fedayeen Saddam' Darth Vader style Helmet from the Second Gulf War. The black Darth Vader style helmet was worn by the black-uniformed 'Fedayeen Saddam' (فدائيي صدام) which was a paramilitary Fedayeen organization loyal to the Ba'athist Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein. The name was chosen to mean 'Saddam's Men of Sacrifice'. The group consisted of approximately 30.000 members and was led by Uday Hussein, eldest son of Saddam. He was reportedly an avid fan of Star Wars. The helmet shell is made of fibre glass, with a nylon webbing liner, complete with chinstrap and ofte missing neck-cup. The metal parts are slightly rusted. 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, it was probably lost in combat. A unique and very desirable helmet which is seldomly offered for sale!
