Particularly nice M1938 tanker helmet has "SEARS SADDLERY CO. / Davenport, Iowa" maker's stamp with size
"7-1/8".
Good condition tan leather liner, and ear pieces fitted with R-14 receivers and wire loom. Olive drab painted
leather receiver cover flaps remain intact and pliable.. in fact, all the little bits that are often broken and overlooked
on these helmets remain intact on this one. Helmet includes a pair of the M1938 Resistal goggles, with
spring-mounted sides on a gray rubber facemask and and brown elastic headband. These did not survive as well as the
helmet, with damage on the cloth side panels and the left lens which is completely obscured due to deterioration of the
adhesive inside the laminated glass. Goggles have left a trace bit of the facemask edge fuzed to the helmet on one side,
but this should be easily remedied with a bit of care. Also includes a throat microphone. Goggles: III / Helmet: II+

Naval Academy class of 1926, was an instructor at the Academy when a Lt.(jg) in 1929, a Lieutenant in Hull (1936),
at Norfolk (1938), promoted to Lt. Commander July 1, 1941, and Commander August 20, 1942. We found him
aboard the
USS Pensacola
CA-24 in January 1945. During that Pacific Cruise,
Pensacola
suffered numerous killed and
wounded inflicted by Japanese shore batteries on Iwo Jima, as she operated close to the coast to cover the
minesweepers that were preparing the way for the landings. The last service record we found for this officer was as
Captain of the Andromeda-class attack cargo ship
USS Muliphen
AKA-61 from July of 1948 to July 1949. Nice
premium quality sword, and good potential for further research. II
