An excellent example of period aviation helmet w/ear speakers, oxygen mask w/microphone and connector wires, all in great condition. Helmet is a size medium, Type A-11 (see Photo above). Mask is Type A-14, size large (see photo above). Helmet protective bag is 16inches by 16 inches in full rip stop nylon, zipper works great and bag is in great shape. These items were my uncle’s and he used them in the latter part of WWII in long range bombers and also in recon jets over Russia directly after the war. They have always been stored in our climate controlled home (non-smokers) and properly looked after. Please contact me if you need more pictures or info. Also, check my other listings for some aviator googles (Italian) that were used with these pieces. I did get a question about the ability of the oxygen mask to connect to the leather helmet–I had not noticed before, but the right side (see pics) has all the connectors on both but the left side, has the connector on the oxygen mask torn and attached to the helmet connector. This is just from age, as the rubber does not maintain its strength.
