the second was marked \"a, \" followed by \"b\" on the third and continuing thereafter. this helmet carries the matching \"a\" designation, identifying it as the second example produced. \n \n its survival is equally remarkable. the helmet remains exceptionally complete, retaining most of its original exterior and interior components and hardware. the fiberglass shell displays a striking deep red finish, believed to be a later repaint. the neck-dam assembly remains complete and locks properly into position, while the elaborate flip-up face assembly continues to operate smoothly. its handmade character is readily apparent throughout, including the prominently stamped \"designed\u2013mfg. by joe savoie\" hardware. \n \n nation's attic has had the privilege of handling numerous fiberglass and stainless-steel joe savoie helmets over the years, but this is the first of the twelve original flip-up helmets we have ever offered\u2014and it is the second one joe savoie ever made. more than simply a rare diving helmet, it represents one of the earliest surviving artifacts from a revolutionary period in commercial diving helmet development. for the advanced diving-history collector or museum, it would be difficult to find a more historically significant joe savoie helmet. \n \n \n \n all diving helmets in this auction will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from nations attic. the certificate will have a unique number that will match the number on a tamperproof hologram decal placed inside the helmet. this information will be kept on permanent file at nations attic and help ensure the provenance of the helmet and authenticity. the display stand shown in the photos is not included. the option to purchase one after the auction will be provided. \n \n \n \n all items will be shipped with a signature required upon delivery and full insurance either via fedex or the usps priority mail. worldwide shipping is available;

\n \n this remarkable helmet was manufactured by the legendary a.j. morse & son company of boston, massachusetts. established in 1837, morse became one of america's most respected manufacturers of commercial diving equipment and an important supplier to the u.s. navy. the company's craftsmanship and engineering helped establish the mark v as what many collectors consider the most iconic diving helmet ever produced. \n \n this early u.s. navy mark v was manufactured on june 11, 1919, and features serial number 2886. remarkably, the matching serial number is clearly stamped on the original brass identification plate, both neck rings, and all four brails. this makes it a complete, serial-number-matching example. \n \n constructed with a heavy copper body and solid brass fittings, this helmet retains an outstanding, consistent patina. all of its important period-correct hardware is present, including the seldom-seen world war i-era eight-point exhaust wheel. additional components include all four brails, 12 wing nuts, window guards, glass windows with red lead caulking, internal air vents, exhaust chin button, spitcock valve, dumbbell safety latch with chain, and four copper brail shims. \n \n an additional highlight is the original a.j. morse & son inc. non-return valve, along with the communication fitting cap. the communications elbow retains its correct early single-pin internal connection and is wired to a world war ii-era guided radio corporation reproducer mounted inside the bonnet. \n \n the helmet remains in excellent overall condition, with no notable dents to its copper body. a small, approximately penny-sized repair is visible on the center rear of the bonnet, along with minor surface imperfections consistent with its age and use. the beautifully aged copper and brass surfaces display a rich, consistent patina that collectors appreciate. \n \n even more remarkable, this 1919 mark v was actually used for diving within the past 24 months! prior to that dive, the helmet was reportedly thoroughly inspected and found to function properly. nevertheless, this helmet is being offered strictly as a collectible antique and historical artifact. it must undergo appropriate professional inspection, testing, and certification before any future diving use. \n \n although its exact service history is unknown, this helmet was manufactured during the immediate postwar period, when the u.s. navy was transitioning from wartime operations to peacetime responsibilities and reconstruction in europe. \n \n with its exceptionally scarce 1919 manufacturing date, fully matching serial numbers, complete period-correct hardware, beautiful original patina, and documented recent diving use, this is a truly outstanding example of an early u.s. navy mark v. an increasingly difficult helmet to locate, particularly in such complete and well-preserved condition, and a wonderful opportunity for the advanced diving helmet collector!
