26618, as used by many German pilots and flight crew! During WW1, most pilots quickly realized the need for protective headgear due to the cold weather effects while in an open cockpit. As no headgear was readily available, pilots were forced to utilize commercially produced leather motorcycle and automobile helmets. During WW2, the German military produced approx. 10 variations of flight helmets for various operational conditions, as well as with or without radio communication equipment. This specific helmet was designed with radio equipment for fighter and bomber pilots. It was similar to the earlier model used in the early months of the Battle of Britain (LWpW100), however with updated features. Made of leather and fleece, this helmet is in SUPERB used condition. There are no rips or tears, and the leather is still very soft and supple! All snaps, tabs, and buckles work correctly, and retain their original paint. All the electrics are 100% intact (headphones, throat mic), as well as the main radio plug and wiring. All straps are fully adjustable. Data label is complete, however the size is difficult to read (appears to be around a 55). The cellophane covers for the earphones are also still present! A SUPERB example, perfect for any collection or display.

There are no rips or tears in the fabric, however, as you can see in the photos, the interior features quite a bit of damage (water, I believe). All snaps, tabs, and buckles work correctly, however there is some corrosion, as you can see in the photos. All straps are fully adjustable, and the data label is still intact indicating, LKpS101, Fl. Size is marked as a 56. As it is in used condition there is a bit of wear and marks. The leather covers for the earphones are also still fully intact! Cord is still present, however it is cracked in quite a few places, as you can see in the photos. Sadly, the snaps on the throat mic are missing… But those could be easily replaced. Probably a good starter helmet for a novice collector.
