summer flying helmet, FK34. This flying helmet, kopfhauben, is the type without radio
equipment. The tan colored exterior features linen fabric and dark brown leather chinstraps
at the side. The each side has a fastening clip for the oxygen mask. The top has an
adjustment band for size. The interior is yellow-gold satin and has a G.A. Hoffmann tag
sewn into the material. Now here's where this flight helmet gets interesting. The owner's

make for an interesting research project for those who are inclined. The interior shows
light wear. Excellent example. $450. More Photos |

Luftwaffe
early enlisted/nco visor hat for flight. This stunning hat features an early aluminum
eagle with matching winged cockade. The hat has complete bright golden-yellow piping.
The black mohair capband is untouched by moths as is the rest of the hat.The leather
chinstrap is tight and shows minor age discoloration. This is a wonderful hat. The
interior is stamped Gebr. Alm…. Berlin. The size is 57 and the hat is dated 1936!
The celluloid diamond is missing (sorry) otherwise the hat would be rated near mint.
Now for the inside of the complete leather sweatband - it's stamped "FeaQ" and
"FLHKdtr.Q I". If my research is correct, according to Angolia's book Uniform's
and Traditions Luftwaffe vol. 1, pg. 365, the FLHK would indicate "Hohere Fleigerkommandeure"
staff around 1936 for Higher Commander's of Flying units.
This exceptional hat is offered at $950. More Photos |
