M16 Austrian Army Helmet

Germany > German Empire > Headgear >

The stamped, sheet steel construction, helmet retains a good portion of its original green/tan paint. The helmet has both the dome headed chinstrap retaining rivets, both of the extended ventilation side lugs and all three of the flat headed liner retaining rivets. The interior of the helmet has a pre-May 1917 pattern leather liner band complete with the original pads and stuffing. In comes with a complete kaki chin strap. I do knot know if this is a replacement. Interior is stamped "E7". I do not see a manufacturer code or stamped size but would guess the shell size as 68.
