This is very much a peculiarity that has so far defied definite identification.

It is a small size possibly child's hat from the pre war Edwardian period hat with a clear aviation connection. It has a beautiful embroidered representation of a Bleriot Monoplane. The type in which Louis Bleriot first flew the English Channel on 25th July 1909.

Research has taken me to the Victoria and Albert museum from where the illustration on Straw hat came from.

We would be very grateful for any further information.

This is undoubtedly an item of clothing that is an incredibly rare survivor from the earliest days of aviation.

Condition is very good although a little grubby internally. No moth damage.

WW1 RFC?  or early inter war period flying helmet?

A very well used and somewhat worn early flying helmet.
Externally the helmet’s leather has survived in very good condition, however the original much Rabbit’s fur has gone from the peak, chin strap and from some of the internal sides. 
Internally the lining is generally very good. 
Fitted with the original fitting for Gosport tubes.

There are no visible markings, I have stated that they are possibly RFC, they came the same source and were paired up with the RFC Goggles also on the site. 
However they are priced as being from the inter War period.
