This Luftwaffe winter flying helmet was worn by German fighter pilots during WW2. Lined with either shearling or fleece, they were made from a high quality leather and were a base housing for communication cables including a throat mic and assembly – often referred to as avionics equipment.

This particular one is a LKpW101 variant. Which means though one of the more common variants, it’s the one which has built in communication equipment. The 100 variant, does not. It’s in excellent condition, with clearly visible label, original fur lining (insulation), chin strap, buckles, poppers, jack plug and throat mics. The elastic section separating the throat mics is not only still stretchy but in excellent condition. The entire piece is in excellent condition. Infact, the only part that’s showing significant wear is where the communication equipment attaches onto the helmet, and the insulation on the jack plug base and these are both INCREDIBLY common places you’ll see wear, because this is usually what pilots would use to pull the helmet off their heads.
