Flieger Leather Crash Helmet
 
Flieger Leather crash helmet. Unit marked "Flg Bekl Döberitz" (Flieger Bekleidungsamt Döberitz) on the rear neck flap for Flieger clothing depot Döberitz which was the Imperial flight school. The "Bumper pads" around the helmet appear to be filled with horse hair.
 
The helmet liner is in remarkable condition. Note the stitch marks for the top bumper pad on the skull interior.
