RAF First pattern internally wired C Type flying helmet with receivers

Original WWII RAF C type flying helmet with wiring and receivers. This pattern of helmet is referred to as the first pattern internally wired C Type flying helmet. This pattern was introduced in March 1944 replacing the earlier externally wired version and saw use throughout the rest of the conflict. The rear of the helmet features three straps. The exterior of the helmet is made from a brown coloured leather and is fitted with brass press studs throughout. The goggle straps all retain their snaps which have almost all of their brown painted finish to the exterior. The grey elastic chin strap is present and in good condition as are the rubber receiver cups, these are still in good condition. No visible maker markings. The receivers are marked AM. A dark coloured wiring loom which is in excellent condition is fitted with a black bell plu which is also in good condition. The interior of the helmet is lined with chamois leather and is in good condition with only limited soiling from wear and use.  A very nice example of a wartime RAF C Type flying helmet in great condition
