Originally posted by Paul Woodbyrne View Postvery nice Andy, love ones with history.... Here is my early summer type, it came from a closed meusem in the uk. It is in mint condition the fabric is still stiff. Early date 1937 and the best head size you can get 59. Regards Paul.
Lovely helmet and beautiful condition. A 101 dated 1937? I didn't know they made 101S in 1937. You learn something new every day.
I bought my 101W, together with the flight suit from Jim, via Harry. So it has a good pedigree! It is funny that I saw your post Eubank, as I am going to be selling both the helmet and flight suit on the E-stand shortly. I had just been taking some photos the other day and hey presto.
Anyway, you both have great examples of 101s, that look like they were made yesterday.
Best regards,
Andy

Hi!
Very nice pre war / early war flight helmets!
I think before this thread the earliest 101 I saw was 1939.
But I have some doubts about the 1937 LKp S101 from Paul.
It's an excellent and mint piece but I think the 1937 stamp doesn't designate the date of manufacture.
I think it's part of the BAL stamp.
Best regards,
Lukas
