Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. It wasn't cloth or steel helmets. Anyway, can anyone confirm that this is a period third reich Luft flight helmet? It looks good to me but I have never owned one. Thanks for any help you can provide!

I'd say good pick!

Yes I thought it looked good. Are they worth any money? I know if I buy this, I will spend a lot of time tracking down the goggles and headset... Challenge accepted!
Looks like a good LKpw 101 winter weight flying helmet minus the throat mike and corded jack plug. Very nice.

I have seen them from summer helmets and winter helmets with or without the electronic ear bud inserts from 125.00 to 250.00 depending on condition and seller. I know the electronics are around with people like Ruptured Duck and Bunker Militaria. Good pair of goggles are though to find and spendy. I have also seen nice leather gauntlet gloves that would go nicely with this as well.

Ebay similar ones go for $300 - $375 depending on condition and if the ancillaries are still fitted. Dealer prices go $350 - $400+ as a rough guide.by naptime

Great info guys. Thanks a lot. If it all works out, I will post photos here when I get it.
Late to the party.....but looks good to me.
Agree with Rossi and Ned.
I was offered a similar one a year ago for around $300.

Even later to the party but this is a good one, I have one with all the cords, and yes adding the goggles is a must!! maybe even a scarf lol
Nice winter one with at one time avionics as pointed out , throat mike and electrical cords have been removed they are tough to find on their own otherwise it is a good LKp w 101 flight goggles are quite easy to find but sometimes pricey. timothy
