RAF E-Type Flying Helmet, Early Patt.

SOLD

Code: SOLD-24




Stores Ref. 22c/745. Size 2. Extremely rare early, externally wired version of the E-type helmet with a leather chinstrap and Bennet buckle fastener.

Both rubber earpieces are in excellent flexible condition and the interior of the helmet/inner chamois donuts are very good. The chinstrap is good and retains the metal tip whilst the Bennet buckle is excellent. The goggle straps are a little dry with some surface cracking but retain complete flexibility and the press stud poppers have virtually all of the original brown coatings. Air Ministry, King@APOS@s Crown and reference number markings to the chinstrap tab. A very good helmet. Unwired. Undoubtedly one of the rarest helmets to find. Stock code H7745/14732.
