Description: Item description from the seller Note:: Stand Included Size:: Full Size The US Navy Mark V is arguably the most iconic helmet design ever made. Its style and history have made it one of the most popular helmets among collectors worldwide. The model was made for the US Navy from 1916 till the mid-1980s. After the US Navy adopted the Mark 12 helmet for use, there were still three makers of the Mark V helmet for commercial and recreational use, Morse & DESCO (Diving Equipment and Supply Co) and recently Schrader.This helmet was made by one of those famed and iconic manufacturers of the 20th and 21st Centuries, the Diving Equipment & Supply Company (DESCO). Located in Milwaukee, WI this company would start making diving helmets and related equipment in the late 1930s. Starting in 1943 they become a supplier to the US Navy, including the Mark V helmet. DESCO is still in business today making the highest quality helmets and offering repair services.The helmet was made during the month of September in 1977 and is the very same configuration as ones made decades before. This helmet was purchased brand new by the Divers Academy International school along with another. The other Mark V became the schools primary training helmet while this one never touched the water in 44+ years! The result is a time capsule of a Mark V with a documented history that we will pass along to the next lucky owner.
