I be like it - it has character! Jim G.

A cool example Kyle!
There is a certain irony about the fabric inside as floral designs have so many meanings and suit many occasions but meanwhile there was a war raging while his was fitted out. There reality is that they must have been using anything they could get their hands on. You sometimes see WW1 German helmets with civilian fabrics used as a backing on the liner pads.

Thanks Andy! I was pretty surprised to see the flowers, found it so odd to put a floral pattern cloth in a helmet made for a war. It’s always interesting to see the odd liner fabrics they used.

A real beauty , love the liner. I have a leather three pad liner with floral pockets underneath in a medium duty Police helmet.
-
I’ve seen floral print fabrics used in the linings of Red Army breeches too.
This is a splendid example. Fabulous find.. I’ve been half on the lookout for a Luftschütz helmet myself. I hope to find one with such character.
Congratulations!

Thanks Frank, is it close to the same floral pattern at all?

No different pattern and only 1 of the 3 pockets has this , the others are dark blue cloth.
