Description
An original unrestored vintage diving helmet in 3 light 12 bolt pattern. KIM in Korea made this helmet. The original brass ID plate is still present on the breastplate but very difficult to read. The helmet retains eleven of the twelve wing nuts and all four brails. Air supply fitting is present as well as window guards. Inside the bonnet, the air vents are present as well as the exhaust chin button. The top and bottom thread together with ease and a neck ring gasket are present. This helmet has been well used with numerous old repairs to sections over the decades. It has developed a wonderful patina and would make a fine display piece.

The option to purchase one after the auction will be provided.
