Description
11/4/26 - This is a WWI-era German leather flight helmet of the type worn by aircrew of the Imperial German Air Service (Luftstreitkräfte), whose open cockpits made a close-fitting leather helmet essential protection against wind and cold. The helmet is constructed of dark leather panels with a brown cloth lining, and features rounded ear flaps with snap-closure ear tabs and a leather chin strap with a metal buckle. The leather shows heavy age, with overall crazing and cracking to the surface, scuffing and edge wear throughout. The lining is intact but shows staining and wear consistent with age and use. An honest, age-worn WWI German flight helmet for the aviation collector.
