BRITISH 1ST PATTERN AIRBORNE HELMET WITH THE BOTTOM FIBER RIM AND HEAVY DARK LEATHER CHIN STRAPS, A “BARN FIND” BY ONE OF MY RUNNERS 30 YEARS AGO, HE PICKED THIS OUT OF A BARN IN CENTRAL JERSEY (HIGHTSTOWN), LEATHER SWEATBAND IS HM’ED “BMB 7 1/8 1942″, THE STEEL HELMET SHELL HAS TWO 1 1/4” CRACKS IN THE FRONT BUT THE FIBER RIM IS HOLDING THEM FROM EXPANDING, THE THICK LEATHER CHIN STRAPS APPEAR TO HAVE HAD A MUD COATING AT ONE TIME, THE HELMET PROBABLY SHOULD BE TAKEN APART AND CLEANED, HELMET HAS APPROX 80% FIELD GREEN CAMO? FINISH OVER THE ORIGINAL DARK FINISH, A SCARCE UNTOUCHED HELMET IN NEED OF SOME LOVE!
