WW1 DH4 propeller blade, a very rare surviving 4 bladed prop to the de Havilland bomber. Dated 1917 and in absolutely lovely condition for its age, structurally sound, minor bumps and dents as you might expect for 90 years about the place, still retaining the original maple 1917 decals to each blade, Rolls Royce engineering detail to the boss centre '250HP' and 'DRNG NO 2450' and the manufacturer's detail '216 M&CO'. A truly awesome item for the descerning collector.

A commemorative badge of the Zeppelin, possibly 20s-30s period, the Zeppelin certainly flew to the States in 1924. Badge shows the Zeppelin crossing the globe to Los Angeles (marked on the globe by 'LA'), has a blue enamelled outer ring with 'Friedrichshafen Tokio Los Angeles Lakehurst'. The badge is quite heavy, has a maker typically associated with German badges and buttons. Has an edge knock and enamel damage - see picture - though this does not detract at all, nice badge.

A fine condition WW2 United States Army Airforce A9 canvas/cotton flying helmet and head/ear phones. Helmet is in excellent overall condition, though has some minor fraying to one side strap seating, see photographs, but this does not detract. Inside is in good clean condition with issue label - code suggests circ 1942 - there is a stitch repair about 3/4 inch long on the rear right side, again does not detract at all. Still complete with wool chin strap. Head/ear phones are bakerlite and in excellent unchipped condition, no maker details or marks, this is not uncommon as many wartime head/ear phones were generally civilian bought. A nice example of an A9 flying helmet.
