Thank you very much Tony! I will look on the linked Website Quick as possible. Its always nice to see when someone survived that horrible war. My great grandfather startet 1914 as Unteroffizier an in 1916 he lost his leg. He was shot and a couple weeks Later he lost his leg in Hospital. Greetings Stefan

Hello all, got this Relic Austrian M17 Helmet. My dad have cancer and he always wished a german/Austrian ww1 helmet. So since i dont have big money i jumped on this relic. After cleaning i saw the the outer shell has paint (on the pictures the helmet looks like crap). Its the original Field Grey Factory Paint - overpainted with matt dark green. The Shell also have a battle damage in the rim. Just found one stamp on the top of the helmet It says "414" - no other maker marks. Hope you like this helmet a little and i hope my dad will be lucky when he saw the hemet next time Greetings Stefan
