Condition Report
Overall, this helmet shows signs of age and wear. The exterior and interior metal shows signs of rust, particularly where the helmet would have come into contact with the wearer, like the inner rim. The exterior lacquer is missing in places, and central emblem is loose but not detached. The interior leather is present, but no strapping is present.
