Original Item: Only One Available. This is an excellent condition German WWII Luftwaffe Flieger Kopfhaube (Aviator Helmet/Hood), model LKp W101. This is a helmet for winter, as indicated by the W. It is made of leather, with a very nice rabbit fur lining, which has a chamois backed forehead area and neck straps. It comes with a fully correct and intact communication setup, with attached throat microphones, installed headphones, and a bakelite 4 pin connector on the back. Also included from the collector is the end of an original box for a flight helmet, however it is actually for a summer weight model LKp S101 in size 56, but definitely still would make a good addition to any aviation collection.

The helmet is in excellent condition. It still has the original manufacturers tag on the interior rear:

FL. Kopfhaube Gr. 57
Baumuster LKp W101
Gerät – Nr 124-436 A
Werk – Nr – 1 K. H s l
Anf. Z Ln 26618
Hersteller
Deutsche Telephonwerke
und Kabelindustrie

Deutsche Telephonwerke & Kabelindustrie AG (German telephone works and cable industry Co. or DeTeWe) of Berlin, a manufacturer of telephone and radio equipment. We do not know if they manufactured this flying helmet, or whether it was shipped to them for outfitting with the avionics. Overall condition is very good to excellent. It features the studs and hooks for a 4 point oxygen mask attachment.

The throat microphones are marked Mi4c and Ln 26779-3 meaning the avionics are comprised of round Mi4c magnetic type throat microphones with four-pole break coupling/plug. Both are also marked with the bxo three letter code of DeTeWe. It carries the short communication cord favored by fighter pilots and is fitted with a plug that is nicely marked BLK v Fl 27560.

Also included are a set of Luftwaffe Type 295 Fliegerschutzbrille (flying goggles), with clear glass lenses and an elastic fabric strap. The goggles are maker marked O.W. on the top, for O.W. Wagener & Co. of Rathenow, Germany, a known maker of these goggles during WWII. They feature Luftwaffe gray aluminum frames, and the rubber surrounds are actually still relatively soft, with functional elastic. There is however a crack in the left lens, but this could always be replaced.

This really is a fantastic medium size (57cm) example of a German WWII Flying helmet, complete with goggles & avionics!

More on the Model LKP W-101:

A dark brown leather flying helmet lined with sheepskin or rabbit fur and made from the same basic pattern as the LKp W-100 but with new Siemens communications and improved insulation for better sound transmission. The major visible difference between this helmet and its predecessor was the design of the earphone housings and throat microphone straps. Instead of metal or plastic domes, the earphones were housed in hard rubber cups covered with dark brown leather which had a more streamlined appearance. The leather outer covering was designed with a recess at the top which helped secure the goggle straps in place. Sound quality was further enhanced by the installation of a translucent plastic membrane inside the helmet between the cushioned fleece lining and the earphone speaker. This served the dual function of filtering excess noise and keeping dust out of the sensitive electronics. The housing for the throat microphones on the LKp W-101 was also improved. Two straps containing the microphone contacts were linked by an inverted “T” shaped leather envelope at the nape of the helmet. This housing also served as the junction between the helmet’s internal wiring and the long cord and plug-in connector. The throat straps were adjustable on both sides by means of two small buckles, and once the correct sizing was achieved, could be quickly joined together at the front of the throat by one or two snap fasteners. Later examples of this helmet have been found with a friction release attachment for adjusting the tension of the throat microphones, although this is more commonly seen on the LKpN mesh flying helmets. The model LKp W-101 was produced with hardware for the three-strap oxygen mask, but many were modified to accept the two-strap mask by the addition of studs on either side of the helmet.
