bazelot Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share #702 Posted July 16, 2014 Latest addition to the collection. M-450 with A-14 oxygen kit sewn to the side and all buckles removed. Helmet is salty and was well used. It came with a headset cord installed for the receivers. I had never seen that done before. It looks like the cord was attached a long time ago. This came directly from an estate sale sale like this so i left it exactly the way it came to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazelot Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share #711 Posted July 17, 2014 Next one is a M-450 helmet with volcano earcups. It is featured In Greg Pons' amazing new book USMC Aviators. I also have 2 other helmets featured in this book which I will post pictures of soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazelot Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share #713 Posted July 17, 2014 This one is an amazing setup. One of a kind NAF 1092 summer helmet with TC66 earcups and covered in black leather. Usually they are covered in chamois. This one is also featured In Greg Pons' amazing new book USMC Aviators. I also have 2 other helmets featured in this book which I will post pictures of soon. The cups were actually reused from another setup as the black leather has marks for oxy snaps that are no longer there but were never used on that M-450 helmet. I had never seen evidence of recycled earcups before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazelot Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share #723 Posted July 20, 2014 Rare rigger made over the head strap added to a white deck helmet with volcano earcups. Looks like a perfect setup now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
