would that have been a helmet that got piled up in Austria with their Austrian stock post WW1 and then refitted Austrian style. Must be something like that Jim. It also has the decal set often encountered on Austrian DD's and the paint looks similar as well.
You always come up with rarities Jim ;-) Cool helmet.

Thanks Frank, I also posted this one on GHW and Andrea had a very insightful observation. Here it is, it makes sense!

Jim...that is an odd ball for sure !!!
One thing....it's me or looks like three welded spots back and front as if has had once a combo? more or less like the czech vz 20?
is it plausible to think that was an ET, at some point issued to czech army, then reissued back again to german Wermacht ?
maybe there is nothing austrian here....?!

GREAT EYE Andrea! I think you are right! I noticed the weld marks when I picked up the helmet, but didn't think it through. You're explanation makes the most sense. When I pull this one out of storage next I will take close ups of the welds and add them to the tread. Thanks Andrea, Jim G.

Dang. Andrea's eyes are good. I can't even see these weld spots.
Congrats on another nice helmet!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
