[Milsurplus] Another headset question

[J. Forster]

Thank you. The headband is stamped HB-7. There is no ID band on the cable, nor is there
any indication there ever was one. BTW, the cord is fabric covered...  an early
production version that might not have had tags perhaps?

If anyone has one or two sets of the MC-162s and/or CD-307s, please contact me off list.

Thanks again,

-John
