Re: Camouflaged M17
The paint looks way to fresh to me... But I am no expert on WWI helmets

Re: Camouflaged M17
I believe it's a M16. I agree the paint does look fresh. Or maybe touched up in a few places. I'm not good with liners but I don't get a good feeling with this one.

I actually like the paint, somehow.

Re: Camouflaged M17
I think it's a fake. Although the paint is worn, I don't think it looks faded enough to match the wear and tear. Beyond that, the leather on the chinstrap especially looks brand new.
Re: Camouflaged M17
Repainted and restored helmet. On the pic showing the chinstrap connection, looks like pitting has been painted over.
Re: Camouflaged M17

Re: Camouflaged M17
