WW2 German Luftschutz Type 2 Gladiator Type Helmet with Original Liner, Strap and Decal

Here on offer is an excellent example of a WW2 German Luftschutz Type 2 Gladiator Type Helmet with original liner, strap and decal.

I am not an expert on helmets but have been told this is the Gladiator Type 2 version.

Apparently members of the Air Protection Service (Luftschutzwarndienst) were required to purchase a lightweight helmet that bore the distinct winged decal insignia on the front. Most gladiator type helmets also had a small decal under the rear rim of the helmet that denoted the size and price, as indeed this example has.

Also stamped just above the decal inside is the reference:

RL2-39/21

It also still appears to have its original leather liner and black leather strap.

The helmet case is in excellent condition still retaining nearly all of its black paint. There is some very light surface rust and rubbing mainly to the lower outer section. The main insignia decal has some rubbing to the word LUFTSCHUTZ and the right wing. Please see my pictures.

The helmet measures 12.2” (30.8cm) long and 10.2” (25.8cm) wide at its widest point.

It weighs a heavy 1150g.
