Re: Rescued helmet from the dump
Worth rescuing? ...... as we Aussies would say, "bloody oath!"
Its a M18 also and I love the canvas strap - may even be period?
Great score

Re: Rescued helmet from the dump
Anyone know what the inscriptions mean? I thought the M18 had one rivet and one hole on the side, whereas this one has two rivets and one hole? What should I do with it? Are there collectors that would be interested in something like this, and if so, how would I find them?

Re: Rescued helmet from the dump
Correct classification is Austrian m.17 in all original configuration. I'd gladly take it off your hand.

Re: Rescued helmet from the dump
Indeed an Austrian. High chinstrap rivets on the skirt are the big external feature. The canvas strap is Austrian WW1 issue too btw Dan

Classic Austrian M17.
The things people throw away still amazes me.
