RCAF B-type flying helmet

SOLD

Code: H26154



Canadian manufactured B-type.  No size markings but appears to be small/medium.  These differ from the standard RAF version having a different 'cut' and strap arrangement.  Produced with very soft medium tan leather with a chamois lining.  Zipped ear covers and rear 'split' similar to those found on the RAF B-type.  Chrome plated friction buckles replace the usual Bennet buckles found on the British version.  Both earpieces have Canadian manufactured 'DOT' zips and are fitted with very good original RCAF sponge rubber cushions.  Overall condition of the helmet is good '+', the leather remains supple and undamaged apart from some scuffing and small nicks on the crown/forehead.  All straps are good and the metalwork on them is free of corrosion.  The lining is generally quite clean and is free of damage.  Unlabelled.  Approximately a quarter of the price of a comparable British B-type.  Stock code H26154.
