FULL SIZE MARK V BRASS DIVERS HELMET w LEATHER COVER

Full size 18-inches (45 cm),  9.2 kgs Mk V Brass and Copper Diver's Helmet in Black Leather. Gorgeous Display Collectible. Factory Fresh Polish.The Diver's Helmet is a beautiful detailed reproduction of the famous U.S. Navy Mark V Helmet designed by George Stillson in 1915.  The Mark V was unique in its time for the hinged, rather than screw-in face plate.  The Mark V Diving Helmet became the standard U.S. Navy Diving equipment and was used for most salvage work during World War II.  The MK V Diving Helmet was so well designed that it was used for U.S. Navy Diving with very few modifications until succeeded by the MK12 in 1980.  All the details such as the breastplate, hinged face plate, side view ports, spit cock, exhaust control handle, regulating escape valve, air intake elbow and exhaust piping are faithfully reproduced. The helmet is sheathed in leather for minimum maintenance and added display value. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister ... Read More
