    8. 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
