german flight helmet mod. K33

[BerlinFire]

Hello gentlemen,

I bought this modified aviator helmet. It is the pre-war model K33. It is noticeable that the forehead holder for the oxygen mask is missing. However, there is a third loop for the glasses strap. The inside sign is interesting. Not the manufacturer, but the owner. The owner's name: Otto Thomsen.
GRADUATED ENGINEER Otto Thomsen was a flight instructor at the Berlin Staaken and Berlin Tempelhof airfields. His most famous flying students included Elly Beinhorn, Hanna Reitsch and Wernher von Braun.
