26618, as used by many German pilots throughout WW2. 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 NICE 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, wiring, throat mic), however the plug is missing. All straps are fully adjustable, and the data label is still intact indicating, LKpW101, Ln. Some slight corrosion on some of the metal fittings, however this is normal for the age. This helmet was used in combat, and as such, features some slight stains, wear, and marks along the throat mic straps and ear phones. Sadly, the cellophane covers for the ear phones are missing. A GOOD combat-worn example, it be PERFECT for any entry-level collection or display! PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL YOU ARE INVOICED! Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage. ABOUT ME. Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft Fw190, Me262, etc. , as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. Use is solely based on my authorization only. The free listing tool.
