Luftwaffe Flight Helmets - My Collection

[buellmeister]

Kevin,

What a nice collection! I have only one in my collection. Though not Luftwaffe, it is purported to be a US Rear Admiral's flight helmet. The stars look like they are of WWII era. However, there is no name or provenance I have for the item.

Here is one I have, which is an LKp W 100, which must have been one of the last 100's and using the newer 101 earcups....

I will have to do some better photos of the 3 I have at some stage, I have a summer, winter and net example...

Nice sets, Bob! I especially like the 100/101 variant. Sadly, I have none of these "transitional" helmets. Even sadder, I only have a couple sets of goggles. When they cost as much or more than the helmet, I tend to go for the helmet!
