"German helmet from the German Third Reich period. Rare modification of  the 1935 combat model for use during the Battle of Britain by the crews  of bombers, with front emblem of the Kampfgeschawder 53 created the 1 of  May 1939 in Ansbach. Used in the Dornier DO17, Heinkel He111 and  Junkers JU88. In its interior winter flight cap with headphones. This  helmet comes from the collection of Dr. Scilla auctioned in 2102 and  appears in numerous publications of German helmets from the 70s and 80s  since Dr. Scilla was a world reference and collaborator with texts or  photographs for the majority of the books specialising in helmets from  the period. Certificate of authenticity and photograph of the catalogue  of the collection attached. Probably the only piece of this type  preserved in the world.
