Luftwaffe LKpS101 Summer Flying Helmet, COMPLETE with all Avionics-This is a veteran family purchase and we will supply the name and some info on the GI who brought it back to the buyer. It is a very good example of the Luftwaffe flying helmet with all the key features: the light brown cloth exterior; earphones with their dark brown smooth leather covers, securing straps, buckles and fittings, hooks and the elasticized pullout straps beneath the earphone covers. At the bottom rear is the upside down, brown leather “Y” tab, the arms of which extend into neck straps bearing the dark reddish-brown bakelite covered larynx (Mi 4c) microphones (marked with the Luftwaffe control number “Ln. 26779-3”). The avionics cord, with its four-prong end plug, exits the helmet above the microphone straps. The cord is very rough but still present, while the plug is excellent, with the black bakelite plug being marked “BLKvFl27560”. The oval earphones are fleece padded and this remains excellent. The translucent plastic earphone covers (beneath the fleece) are present as well. There is a nomenclature tag at the rear of the helmet nicely marked with the Baumuster (Model type) LkpS101. The manufacturer is noted with the ordnance code of “bal” which in this case is Siemens. It is stamped with the size of 59 as well. A very good example!
