I'm in love.
I believe it is the same style. It would be easier to tell if he wasn’t wearing a scarf in the photoIsn't the cap in the photo a different style helmet?
I must be seeing things; they say sight is the first thing to go

A beautiful coat, Dave!Something else for this thread.
John JosefThe Helmet in the photo has what looks like a round cap on the peak similar to the roold style. That's just what it looks like to me, but I could certainly be wrong.
It looks nice together, do the helmet or the goggles have any manufacture's label of any stampings?
Wow! Congrats Dave, this tunic is magnificentSomething else for this thread.

There are no labels/stamps on the headgear or goggles. What appears to be a round cap on the peak is actually an additional strap. Not sure what it was used for. I’ve only seen the bigger Roold type flight helmets, never seen a lightweight model.

Would love to see photos of your helmet and gloves!Hello,
Thanks for taking time to answer my questions. It certainly looks like a circular cap in the photo, but it could be the strap playing tricks on the eye. I think they look nice together. I only have the traditional Padded grey green helmet and a leather mink fir lined bomber pilots' glove with the extra fir lined flap that folds over the fingers when in flight to keep the fingers from freezing.
I too.Would love to see photos of your helmet and gloves!
Excellent pieces for your collection @John Josef !
I never have seen a glove like it before, the helmet I sometimes have seen several for sale, but also a very nice item! And also quite rare.
They don't come up for sale that much.
Regards, Coert.
Wow, two great pieces of flieger gear! The glove is amazing, never seen one before except in period photos, and the makings…excellent!Hi Guys,
Sorry for the delay, I finally had a little free time.
Here is the Helmet, I like it and enjoy having it as part my small Aviation collection. I hope to one day have an original Pilots tunic to go with it. In 50 years of collecting, I've only ever seen two that I really believed to be original, and both were already in collections and not leaving anytime soon.
