Original Gueneau 316 fighter pilot helmet from "2/5 Ile de France" squadron

Description

Selling this amazing named and ultra rare original Gueneau 316 flight helmet from the famous French 2/5 Ile de France squadron from the 80s.
More about the squadron:
HERE
Named helmet - Lieutenant Voisin
This helmet was used in the
late 80s
when the squadron was flying on the
famous Dassault Mirage F1
.
This helmet was
painted by famous French Air Force artist Titou
. Titou painted the helmet the first time in the 80s. Because the helmet was so worn-out due to heavy flight use, the pilot asked Titou
to repaint his helmet in 1992
. Titou repainted the helmet
100% to the original
The helmet is a size medium ('MT"). No label is still there. Clear and dark visors, leather edge roll, earphones are all present and in good condition. White plastic edge roll was replaced by an original one (glued but not stitched).
The oxygen mask
is included in the sale. It is the correct and ultra rare (and more expensive)
Ulmer 82MK
used on Mirage F1. Complete and in great condition. Size II (medium size)
The helmet is in Paris, France
, but I will ship internationally including the US, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, etc. at the actual international shipping cost. For those destinations, insured shipping with tracking is ~ / €70, and around €35 for Europe.
I will reimburse you the shipping cost difference if any
, so don' worry about that.
