REPLICA / COPY / NOT AN ORIGINAL

A C E Heinke & Co Ltd London, Pearler 12 bolt diving helmet which we now know as a Burmese 'double seam' copy made from copper and brass.

An ace looking helmet which has fooled a few specialists, including ourselves. We don't get too involved with the online community but realise the importance of it in todays world. The knowledge that can be shared is unbelieveable, the good side of the internet.

It has a replacement blank in the elbow. Castellated crown, triple circular windows - the front with safety chain, three tie offs, rear air inlet, pepper pot outlet and hoop hangers.

A truly well made helmet albeit not an original.
