 | Siemens Type LKpW101, winter flying helmet Manufacturer: Luftfahrtgeraetewerk Hakenfelde GmbH Size: 2 Geraete-Nr: 124-4364 Anf. Zeichen: Ln 26618 Using the same basic pattern like the LKpw100, this helmet is constructed of dark brown leather lined with sheepskin. It features an improved communication system including hard rubber ear cups covered with brown leather and modified throat microphone neck straps. The ear cups containing the earphones plus an insulating plastic membrane against external noise and dust - are designed with a recess for the goggle straps. Equipped with two leather goggle straps, two chin straps and a concealed adjustable strap terminating in a "U" shaped eyelet on top of the helmet plus a small flat hook located on either side, this helmet was designed for wearing with the three-strap oxygen mask. |

 | TypeMi 4b throat microphone This helmet is equipped with oval shaped carbon throat microphones. The two adjustable neck straps, which contain the throat microphones, can be quickly joined by two snap fasteners. These straps are linked by an inverted "T" shaped leather envelope at the nape of the helmet, which also serves as a junction between the internal wiring and the long cord and plug-in connector. These new neck straps were a vast improvement over the earlier style used in the LKpW/S100 series' helmets, which tended to throttle the wearer if too tight. |
 | Type 10-67 oxygen mask (With non-original straps and attachments) Manufacturer: bwz / Auer Size. 1 By concealing the expiratory valve inside the body of the mask, thus preventing cold air from coming in contact with the moist exhaled air as it condensed, this newly-designed mask (originally Dräger Model HM51 and sometimes marked accordingly) eliminated the freezing problems which plagued earlier types. |
 | Adopted by the Luftwaffe in 1939 this type was designated Model 10-67 and was manufactured in 4 sizes and normally features a three-strap harness. This somewhat battered example unfortunately lacks the anti frostbite shield, the hose connector and the typical "crocodile" clip. |
