Dummy head is not included. Only for display. Priority mail / signature requiredWW2 Royal Air Force Flight Helmet W/Oxygen Mask and wiring connectorCircle late 1930sPlease understand that this mask would be approximately 90 years old. I will try to describe the damages as best as I can.If you need any more pictures than what I have provided please message me ahead of time before the listing ends.Helmet has a lot of wear and staining and a few small holes worn through. For the most part..., leather is all still pliable.Ear pieces have the metal electrical components but the pouches are filled with broken pieces /crumbles from the foam parts or whatever the ear cushions we're made of. Pretty much deteriorated inside. There is dust / residue when you move the mask around from pieces falling out of the ear cups.I have not taken out the ear pieces or cleaned the helmet in anyway. It will be carefully shipped as is.Zipper on one side (left ear) is broken. The other zipper works.Face mask section looks like it came apart where it sets on your nose and may have broken or missing pieces/parts. Including some of the thin black plastic/leather that wraps around the metal on the tip of the mask. That has a missing piece and is falling off.The flexible straps that connect the mask to the helmet are very brittle and have a crackling sound when i try to flex them. I did not want to adjust them because it felt as if they would break. Which is why the mask is hanging off in the picture. I could not get it to strap tightly to the dummy head.Chin buckle and both buckles on the back of the helmet all seem to work fine and are in OK condition. Chin strap metal buckle has a little corrosion on it.Tag reads.....size 3 7 1/8 to 7 1/4A....M22C/65I cannot make out any of the other printing.Possibly A. F. And then the person who owned it probably wrote their name inside.This would make a nice restoration project or display peice.Please message me with any questions Or pictures that you need. I do not have any information about the original owner.
