RAF E-type flying helmet

SOLD

Code: H22263



Stores reference 22c/976, size 4.  The aertex cloth is reasonably clean and generally in good condition but there are some small fray holes adjacent to the rear straps as shown in the photographs.  Both rubber earpieces look excellent and are very flexible.  The interior of the helmet is a bit soiled and the chamois donuts are rubbed smooth through use.  Good chinstrap with excellent elasticity.  All the goggle straps are good and one of the four press stud poppers retains most of the original brown coating.  Wired with a lovely 'thick' dark chocolate coloured instrument cord, black cased type 119 jackplug and matched Air Ministry marked type 32 receivers.  A good/good '+' used example in the largest size made.  Stock code H22263.
