The set includes a matching 1961 dated MBU-5/P oxygen mask made by General Tyre, complete with microphone, cable and jack, size REGULAR-NARROW with straight bayonets. Display is included. This is the first modern US Air Force helmet with integrated visor which will remain in service until the mid-80's with few changes as the the HGU-2A/P. Early HGU-2's with the visor's securing push button still in place are pretty scarce as most helmets have been modified in the field with the more user friendly screw type knob.
