Notes Cracking on the surface of the helmet. Possible missing badge from the crest, due to the prescence of a machined hole. Paint chipping around the crest and the badge. Various indenations on the surface of the exterior. Leather lining has frayed and discoloured, but the strap is still intact. Sticker on the inside of the neck cover, bears the marking "Hendry, Birmingham Model, Bass Charrington, 1927"
