Hi, I was browsing the net to try and find a similar ww1 German helmet that I have in my collection.
I have never had any luck in finding one the same shape until I read an old post on here which had a lot of photos and descriptions. This one looks like the one I have: link below:-

Officer of Austrian Kaiserjäger Sturmbataillon, wearing an experimental German Stahlhelm M.1918 with a sloping brow:
I was wondering if you know any more of the history of this helmet, it's extremely different shape to the normal helmets.
Someone told me mine might be an early pre production model but this photo and description of yours dates it at 1918.
Any help greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
David.
