What do you guys think of my recently purchased M-1917 Imperial German Helmet?

Hello my name is Sean and I am 18 years old. I enjoy collecting war helmets and i just recently purchased this M1917 Imperial German Helmet. I thought it look really good overall with a great patina and it has some sort of battle damage. What are you guys opinions on this helmet? Is it in good condition? The helmet has a rusty patina but it was not a dug helmet, this is actually a house find. Their is basically no pitting on the helmet. Overall could i get opinions? Thanks so much! Btw i paid around 150 US dollars for it which is about 108 euros.

A nice helmet! I have a similar helmet that I bought for $150 so I think that is a good price! I'm not sure if that is battle damage since the bullet would have to hit the inside of the helmet to make that hole. I suppose it could have happened. Still a very nice helmet!

Nice one - The damage adds to it. Shells sell for $20)-$300
so you did pretty good, IMO.........

Very nice helmet, like it a lot :-)

Many strange things happen on the battlefield !
It doesn't have to be a bullet !!
