€ 175,00
Nice Luftwaffe LKp W101 winter flying helmet, as worn by Luftwaffe flying personnel during the Second World War.
The helmet is manufactured from dark brown leather and retains its characteristic warm shearling lining. It shows an attractive used appearance, with the leather remaining in generally good condition. The original leather straps, buckles, press studs and metal fittings for the oxygen mask are still present.
Both characteristic padded leather ear pieces are intact. The internal radio receivers and associated communication equipment, including the wiring, plug and throat microphone assembly, have been removed at some point.
The LKp W101 was introduced around 1938 and was specifically designed as a winter flying helmet, providing both protection against the cold and accommodation for the aircraft communication equipment.
