WW1 British Mark 1 Cruise Visor Helmet

One of a number of items recently surfaced from a long standing European collection this is an excellent example of the rare WW1 Mark 1 Cruise visor helmet. This helmet was only made in limited numbers & so surviving examples are rare.
This piece retains a good proportion of its original rough textured khaki paint to exterior with a heavy khaki paint to the rims underside. Both retaining hooks are still present to the rims exterior with totally undisturbed liner bolt that has never been interfered with. Interior of helmet bears intact chainmail visor with wire still firmly in place affixed to the chinstrap bales as is correct for this model. Leather chinstrap has some minor surface cracking but is still supple & in undamaged order. Helmet net is still present to the liners underside with much of its padding remaining.
Rare piece & in particularly good condition.
