No label but appears to be of American origin and similar in pattern to the AAF A-8/9, B-5 etc.  Seal brown leather helmet with small peak, fleece lining, simple chinstrap and single pronged buckle.  Not fitted with earcups or goggle straps.  The leather is in good overall condition, reasonably clean and supple.  There is scuffing and wear with  some loss to the cloth bindings around the edges of the helmet.  The lining is complete but has staining, the chinstrap has surface wear and the buckle, light corrosion. Quite good used condition.  Stock code H13937.
