9" Mk V Copper-Plated Steel Diving Helmet. Bargain Price!

The Diver's Helmet is a beautiful detailed reproduction of the famous U.S. Navy Mark V Helmet designed by George Stillson in 1915.  The Mark V was unique in its time for the hinged, rather than screw-in face plate.  The Mark V Diving Helmet became the standard U.S. Navy Diving equipment and was used for most salvage work during World War II.  The MK V Diving Helmet was so well designed that it was used for U.S. Navy Diving with very few modifications until succeeded by the MK12 in 1980.
