Summary
This is an experimental helmet, the shape being slightly different from the style used on the Apollo missions, and it does not have a comfort pad attached to the back. It was however, used by astronaut Charles Duke during training sessions.
Like the later models, this helmet is a transparent bubble designed to attach to the spacesuit neck ring, and was constructed of a polycarbonate shell with a blue anodized aluminum neck ring, an emergency feed port, and a vent/comfort pad attached to the rear.
Transferred to the National Air and Space Museum by NASA in 1978.
