Will admit, I can't help on the helmet. I have one but needed help from Jake and the guys when I picked it up.

That is a nice fixed loop with an even nicer first pattern Hawley liner, and all the parts look original. The leather chinstraps on these are usually broken and are usually fragile so be careful with it. Being named on both the liner and shell is nice, it has a Navy look to it. Congrats on the find!

Thanks for the help and comments, he has some other small stuff I believe that was brought from Hawaii, Ill try and post pictures at some point. Wanted to get your thoughts if this is worth selling soon or selling later in hopes the market gets better? Has the classified section here been good for members to sell/purchase items?

The Classifieds Section is very good. I have sold items there with good success.
As far as selling now or later....difficult to predict. But I will say that high quality items will always sell.
