Code: H27504
By D. Lewis - Motor Racing, Flying & Aviation Equipment, Great Portland Street & Oxford Street, London. Typical 1930s private purchase helmet in dark brown leather with a cotton lining. Adjustable buckled chinstrap and press studded leather earflaps for use with Gosport earpieces/tubes. The leather is in good supple condition with relatively light wear and tear. The single pronged chinstrap buckle has surface corrosion and some of the earflap press studs appear to be stuck fast. The lining is rather crumpled/creased and has lost some of the 'brushed' finish. It is complete with an embroidered label, named to the original owner. Fitted with chromed metal Gosport earpieces and a set of Gosport tubes - the latter with some damage as shown. A good helmet. Stock code H27504.
