RARE WW2 RIGGER MADE US NAVY FLIGHT HELMET, AN-450-1, PERSONALIZED OR SQUADRON MARKED WITH A STRIPE OF WHITE SILK. THE HELMET ALSO HAS THE ADDITION OF THE BLACK TC-66 RUBBER EARCUPS. THESE ARE EVEN HARDER TO FIND THAN THE RED ONES. THEY ARE ATTACHED WITH A PARTIAL CHAMOIS COVERING, EVEN MORE UNUSUAL. UNLIKE THE RED CUPS, THE BLACK DO NOT MELT. THEY ARE MARKED TELEPHONICS AND NUMBERED CMO-49104 EXACTLY LIKE THE RED CUPS. THESE FIT THE TH-37'S AND ARE NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE EARCUPS FOR THE NAVY GUN-TALKER HEADSETS WHICH ARE TO BIG FOR THE TH-37'S. THE SILK IS FOLDED UNDER AND MACHINE SEWN AND LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE A HURRY. THE HELMET WAS EITHER NEVER WORN OR WORN VERY LITTLE. HELMET HAS A NICE BEVO LABEL AND IS AN-450-1 MARKED. MADE BY H.L.B CORP. PLUG IS MARKED NAF 215285-2, RECEIVERS ARE ANB-H-1A. DISPLAY WITH A -6530 GOGGLES, B-4 LIFE VEST, SEAT BACK PARACHUTE AND THROAT MIC.
