I believe Dave advertised this helmet as showing the effects of being stored in a hot attic for too long.
Too bad it wasn't stored properly... it would be a top shelf lid for sure!

Here is Dave's description: "The only drawback to this piece is the liner leather has dry rotted. Most likely the helmet was stored in a hot dry environment."
I got a nice DD luft from dave, he is a really nice guy and great seller, maybe if you ask nicely he will work with you and take a few bucks off the price, the helmet is really nice, perfect eagle, and as for the liner, well yes its a shame its shot but when you sit it on a shelf you really cant see the liner anyway! you can always get a nice repro chin strap for it to dress it up a bit.
As already said, a great looking LW decal/paint combination.
Price wise not too bad, but if you can get Dave to drop a few bucks, all the better.
Can't hurt to talk to him about it.

Hi Kradspam,i agree, with a good liner the price would be excellent but alas it has'nt got one,and as this is such a nice example of the luft shell i would not want to mess with the pins and replace the liner,hence in my opinion the lid is to pricey as it is.That said it would look fantastic on a shelf!!
Nice looking helmet.

It's a fantastic helmet. As for the price, it's slightly higher than I would like to pay, but it's not an inflated price. As with all helmets, prices are subjective. If you like it go for it. Never hurts to ask for a few bucks off. And keep in mind if you pay by PayPal there is also the fee on top of the price, plus the shipping.
Thank you all for interest and comments, as always very helpful. I got it. This one will come to a new home.
Excellent. Congrats! Looking forward to pics.
