bazelot Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share #1176 Posted April 13, 2017 You must have a warehouse to display all your flight helmets! Kurt Ah Ah... not a warehouse but they do have their own room. I have close to 130 displayed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_k Posted April 14, 2017 Share #1177 Posted April 14, 2017 Wow TOM. This AN6540-W is a rare variation with o2 snaps. I like a early A-14 Oxygen Mask hook. Thanks, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazelot Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share #1179 Posted April 17, 2017 Nylon AN series flight helmet with added oxygen snaps and WWII boom mike. I originally bought it for the receivers but nylon flight helmets with snaps and mikes are so seldom found that I decided to keep it and display it. The goggles are mint. They look brand new and never worn, it is actually interesting to see and hold a pair that hasn't been used at all (1943 in a box) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry_k Posted April 17, 2017 Share #1181 Posted April 17, 2017 Nice helmet:) Tom you should put a goggle strap via both side keeper straps. Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazelot Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share #1182 Posted April 18, 2017 Nice helmet:) Tom you should put a goggle strap via both side keeper straps. Cheers, Jerry Thanks jerry. I am too lazy to put the strap through the helmet retainers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazelot Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share #1183 Posted April 18, 2017 Next one is a nicely named M-450. I have had this one for a while now but I am now displaying it (it was stored in a box) with WWII pilot sunglasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazelot Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share #1185 Posted May 3, 2017 I haven't displayed this one yet. That type of helmet with snaps is not all that common and hard to find. Notice the extra thick puffs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazelot Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share #1186 Posted May 17, 2017 I just bought a total of 12 receivers with their cords so I can now resurrect some of the helmets I had in stock with no receivers attached. First is an early AN6540 leather helmet with the triple section sides and the small buckles. This one is really hard to come by with the oxygen snaps. I've had it for a long time but until now I did not mange to fit the receivers in the cups. Mission accomplished and it displays really well.
