Luftwaffe flight protection helmet SSK 90


Description

Extremely rare Luftwaffe flight protection helmet (Fliegerstahlhelm) SSK 90. It was only manufactured for a short period of time in 1941.

The helmet was made out of interlocking and hinged steel plates that were designed to protect the head from shrapnel.  It was then covered with thick padding and dark brown leather. All straps are complete and soft. The buttons are PRYM 6 marked. The liner looks to be made from the same material flight combination were made. You can see there was a manufacturer label once. The seam is still there.

Maker's tag: "Luftfahrtgerätewerk Hakenfelde GmbH". "Baumuster SSK90" (Siemens)

No damage. Very soft leather.

The size should be 58/59.
