Item Overview
Description:
This is a classic fiberglass helmet made by General Aquadyne who were based in Santa Barbara, CA. This is a model DMC-7 which first came out in the mid-1970s. This example features fantastic-looking burgundy paint with all its original hardware. There are a few small handling marks in the paint; otherwise, it is extremely nice. These seldom appear on the market in this impressive visual condition!
