    Description

    For your consideration, a 1930's Korean diving helmet and new chest weights.  Regarding the helmet, I believe that it is a Kim, but the tag is fairly worn and hard to read.  For display only.  Do not consider diving this helmet.  I have and it leaks around the brazed seam on the bonnet.  The lead chest weights are much newer (circa 2005), being cast by Nick Toth (Lerios Marine).  They are painted them silver and of the sponge diving variety, being lighter than your average commercial chest weights.
