​

This specimen is yet another variant of the ubiquitous standard Luftwaffe winter flying helmet, featuring in this case round shaped, brown coloured bakelite  Mi4c laryngophones (Ln. 26779-2) with a black plastic cover, manufactured by bxo / Deutsche Telephonwerke und Kabelindustrie AG Berlin. The throat microphones are joined near the wearer's throat by a closure consisting of a canvas strap adjusted by a snap fastener on the right and a friction release buckle on the left. 

​

It is fitted with provisions to attach all types of oxygen masks, be it a two-strap mask by means of two lateral stud fastenings, be it a three-strap mask by means of two side mounted flat hooks and a concealed adjustable central strap and eylet on the forehead. The loom ends into a BLKv Brechkupplung FL 27560.
