Original U.S. WWI Era Private Purchase Aero Squadron Leather Flying Helmet

Original Item: Only One Available. This fantastic rare example of a genuine WWI Aviator flying helmet is made of a soft leather with period wear. This example is not maker-marked but has correct period construction and retains the chinstrap.

Construction is brown leather felt-lined flying helmet with buckle chinstrap, same style as a belt. Typical allied construction of the period with all snaps and buckles present; snaps are all period correct. The leather is in great shape, and the helmet probably saw very little use. The helmet is approximately 55/56cm (7).

Offered in good unissued condition. Comes ready for further research and display.
