USN / USAAF AN6540-2W flying helmet

Code: H12996

By Slote & Klein.  Size medium.  The leather is in very good '+' overall condition although a little dry to the touch and being fleece lined, the helmet is a bit 'stiffer' than chamois lined types.  Some leather dressing would probably work wonders on the finish.  'USN' stamped into the leather at the back of the helmet.  The thick fleece lining is also very good but the chamois donuts are a bit grubby and one has a hole exposing the kapok padding.   With manufacturer and size labels.  It retains both silk drawstrings.  Good strap with two single pronged buckles for adjustment.  Fitted with studs for the A-10R, A-10A or A-14 oxygen masks.  Unwired.  A very good example.   Stock code H12996.
