Schutzhelm der Deutschen Fliegertruppe

#-o Seems I missed this one... anyway that's an uber rare helmet you have there! It's already hard to find a good leather specimen, but you managed to find the ersatz model... Congratulations.

Guys,

Thanks for commenting on my flying helmet. I was able to pick this one up from the October 2012 Herman Historica auction. These are very scarce and this is the first cloth/ersatz example I have evet seen offered on the open collecting market. I have only seen these examples in reference books. If anyone else has Imperial German flying helmet examples I would love to see them.

Awesome crash helmet Dan! Do you have the green leather wartime version?

Here's my only Imperial Flying Helmet--regular, not crach:

Please let me know what you think of it and the goggles especially (photos towards the bottom)...
