37thguy Posted July 2, 2011 #1 Posted July 2, 2011 This is my first tanker helmet. I have wanted one of these for too many years but they are always beat, or go for too much money. This one appeared on Ebay last week for a VERY GOOD BIN price, so I thought I'd take a chance, with a little encouragement from SgtDorango. I know the Rawlings Mfg is one of the more numerous made helmets, but that's OK, just wanted one for display. As this one went for so cheap I'm afraid something is wrong with it I just don't see? Tell me I got a good one at any price and I'll be happy. Thanks guys Mark
Sabrejet Posted July 2, 2011 #10 Posted July 2, 2011 Looks pretty good to me Mark! I too have a Rawlings but yours edges mine a tad. All you need now are a couple of R-14 earphones, with wiring loom, some Resistal goggles and a throat mic and you'll be good to go!! Ian :thumbsup:
kjones5452 Posted July 2, 2011 #11 Posted July 2, 2011 Nice one :thumbsup: Could be a twin to the one I have. I got a pair of repro Resistal goggles and a set of repro headphones from What Price Glory for mine. It really makes it stand out. Got tired of always getting outbid on eBay.

Didn't know I need all of that!?
1944 Posted July 2, 2011 #13 Posted July 2, 2011 Thats an Excellent looking Tankers Helmet you have got there very nice find it also looks to be in Mint Condition :thumbsup: in comparision to my Rawling its a lot rougher mine came with the R14 Head set & the Tinted Googles it makes them look stand out better.
Jeeper704 Posted July 2, 2011 #15 Posted July 2, 2011 Nice one, could be the "brother" of mine. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. I got my second one recently and now "only" two more to go (AG Spaulding and a Wilson one). Erwin
Jason G Posted July 3, 2011 #16 Posted July 3, 2011 Nice! And a good size too. WPG sells the sets as someone else said, of the goggles and such. Worth getting, it'll really make it stand out!
korea drab Posted July 3, 2011 #17 Posted July 3, 2011 Congrats Its allways nice to fill the "wanted" shelf.......... :thumbsup:
RustyCanteen Posted July 3, 2011 #18 Posted July 3, 2011 Ian you're costing me more money now. Didn't know I need all of that!? Unless something's changed that I am unaware of, if you're looking to find an original set of R-14 headphones they will be pricey. That said, completing the helmet only makes it look even better! Very nice helmet you have anyway! :thumbsup:
