Thought this might be interesting for the NSKK collectors.
Found this offer on German eBay.

It's a leather helmet, which looks like a NSKK dagger missing the metal eagle. On the inside of the leather neck protection is a stamp, which reads "Flg. Bekl. Döberitz 1917" (= Flieger-Bekleidung = Aviatior Garment). Döberitz is located approx. 45 minutes in western direction from Berlin and was since 1910 an aviation school. Here's an interesting article about it: http://digitalcosmonaut.com/2013/tru...atz-doeberitz/).
I never saw a original / predecessor of the NSKK helmet in reality, just on photos. Thus I thought the NSKK collectors here at WAF may find this as well interesting.
