Original U.S. WWII Navy USN MK2 Talker Flak Helmet with Chin Strap - MINT Untouched Antique Guns 5 inch (37-mm) signal cartridgesOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is probably the best complete example of a MkII that we have ever had. The helmet is mint and only has very small amounts of paint flaking around the rim. There is some verdigris around the brass hooks on the leather used as bales for the chinstrap. The chinstrap is in fantastic unused condition. These helmets have become much harder to find lately, especially genuine WW2 examples with a complete undamaged liner
