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 EXCELLENT 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, plug) and function perfectly, however there is some slight cracking to the cord, as you can see in the photos. 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. NOTE that this is the RARE 2-point version, which one does not normally see. As such, it has two buttons (on on each side), to mount the 2-point fighter pilot oxygen mask.This appears to be done at factory, and not a field conversion. As it sits, it will mount BOTH oxygen masks. This is a small size 58. This helmet was used in combat, and as such, features some slight stains, wear, and marks along the throat mic straps and ear phones. The cellophane covers for the ear phones are also still fully intact!
A FANTASTIC combat-worn example, PERFECT for any 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. 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.
