Condition Report
Fine overall condition with wear typical for age - one or two minor dents to bonnet. This helmet was used once by the owner and then put on display; the suit's rubber is beginning to perish and shows 'craquelure' when distorted; the boots appear to be in good overall order and may have only been used once; as are the weights.
