Presented is a wonderful old three light, 12 bolt, Korean helmet. The segmented bonnet suggests that it was likely made around 1900. It has many of the design features similar to a Siebe Gorman, except for its criss-crossed guards over the side lights. It is also smaller and substantially lighter in weight. Its obvious was well taken care of and is complete except for a much later added speaker which is not present. We thought it would benefit from a good polishing. Its rugged  appearance which will enhance any room or decor. Two numbers 3 are on the lower neck ring, and the worn tag is in relatively good condition.

 

Because of its rugged good looks, these helmets are great decorating items.

 

 

CONDITION is better than expected form a helmet that has seen service with only minor character dents, some scuffing and no field repairs. A small nipple has been added on the left back for a telephone cable. The air vents are intact. Chin valve operable. Like all our helmets, this is being sold for DISPLAY ONLY. It should not be dived without having passed inspection by a certified dive ship.
