RAF C-type flying helmet, early pattern

RAF C-type flying helmet, early pattern

Code: H27233

SOLD

Stores reference 22c/452.  Size 4.  The leather is in reasonable condition and remains supple but has surface wear and scuffing.   Indistinct A Crown M stamp and reference codes.  Retains all the original goggle straps but the press studs have lost much of their original coatings.  The chinstrap is good but lacks the metal end tip and the Bennett buckle is a replacement.  The rubber receiver carriers/inner donuts have been replaced.  The former remain very flexible but one has a small glued repair.  The chamois lining is quite soiled so the cleaner replacement donuts look rather clean by comparison.  Sold unwired.  A sound helmet in the largest size made that displays very well.  Stock code H27233.
