£190.00
By J
G Menihan Corporation.. Size small. The leather is in very good overall
condition. There are some abrasion marks
near the ear pads but it remains clean and supple. Very good Bennett type
buckle and chinstrap. Type ANB-H-1 receivers fitted but a little loose. Wiring
has a PL-354 jack plug attached. The lining is good and quite clean although there is a tear
in one of the chamois within the 'padded donut' earpiece on one side (see
photos). There are AAF ink stamps/decals
inside and out and an AAF marked label confirming the size, maker and Spec. This is the later war variant with a buckled
rear adjustment strap and leather reinforced oxygen mask press studs. Slight
cracks in the leather on the turn down brow flap
