Pin striping is obviously 1950s design with the starbursts but have no way of knowing if the art was applied after service. The pilot passed away in 1974 and this helmet was acquired from the estate of his wife when family had to out the home since it had sold.
The interior of the helmet is missing one of the ear cushions and shows age and wear.
