US Navy flight helmet

Another treasure from my "bunker".  This is in perfect, like-new condition--even the leather chin strap.  I found others like this on the internet, but they all had headphones or a provision for headphones.  This doesn't--maybe it's from the pre-radio days?

Hello Boonie,

 

Looks very good....but I know nothing about these items.

I am more of a WW1 collector as in the images below....one of the very first French grenades used from the 1890's until 1917...strange one, but extremely rare and cannot find anymore...I was very lucky to find this!!! It is nicknamed the "Hairbrush" grenade due to the shape of the handle and completely 100% very original!!!

I will sell it on MCN soon.

Best to you....IanB/ Desert Rat

What an incredible find.  It seems Germany & the UK used them too.  Very few survived.

Yes Boonie,

A chance in a million to find one of these. I have seen these on other websites sell for between £250 - £350.....WOW! That's why the price is high....no one can find them anymore!

Best to you...Ian/ Desert Rat
