Original U.S. WWII USAAF Bomber Crew M5 Steel FLAK Helmet MG 34 Pistol Grip Assembly At the end of 1937Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very hard to find USAAF WWII issue M5 Flak Helmet, in very good condition. It does not look to have been issued or used very much, but it does have a lot of storage wear on the exterior shell. This has removed a lot of the fuzzy "flocked" coating on the exterior. It also looks to have had round insignia on the front and rear, but those have now been removed. World War Two American bomber crews in the skies
