Christmas miracle!
I got this helmet for Christmas and it wasn't too expensive, at some point someone painted the helmet black and underneath that was silver. I was going to restore the helmet and just paint over the black but instead I was just going to strip off all the paint so I did than I discovered something amazing, I thought there would be no original paint underneath but than the original ww1 green paint came through! Not the best looking but I'm happy with it! I'll show a before and after pictures
That's not bad, nice M16/17
Very nice!!! I just got a M17!! I just posted it in the Imperial section thoughlooks like a size 62 from the lugs, great job stripping it!!
That's a pretty good result, and worth the effort IMO.
Nice job.

Thanks guys! Yes it's a m16 size 62 marked G62 and there's a number up top that says 1018 which must be the batch number, I used paint stripper and a scraper but to bad some of the new paint wouldn't come off
You have done well to retrieve any of the original paint from underneath that black layer!! Well done. Leon.
Nic to see a black transitional that isn't automatically an SS.
Agreed!
Good job, I have had one whit original liner & chin strap. Not sure was it Austrian or German but I love those pots.
