Siemens-Produced Luftwaffe Model LKp W101 Aircrew Flight Helmet with Goggles and Goggle Case

Constructed from tan linen cotton overall, the exterior shows brown leather accents and headphone covers, with steel mounting hooks pre-positioned for an oxygen mask. The interior is lined with brown rayon, with fur ear protectors around the headphones and a makers label from Siemens bearing the "LKpW101" nomenclature. A winter-issue item, the LKpW101 is typically seen with a leather exterior and full internal lining; this may be a production variation. Installed on the back of the helmet is a drop-down throat microphone rig, brown leather construction with a white suede interior and bakelite contacts, with a rubber jacketed cable extending from the same point on the back of the helmet and terminating in a 4-prong bakelite plug. With a cased pair of daytime splinter protection goggles, black bakelite construction with a hinged nose bridge, top and bottom ventilation, and an adjustable tan cloth strap.

Very good overall, with some light wear and handling marks. A few of the helmet straps show light staining. The radio gear has not been function tested, but all connections appear solid.
