Maybe for someone with a crooked head

By chance would this be a Bell helmet.
This maker has alot of helmets that were really badly maded.
It is still a very nice collectible.

Is it an Austrian M16/17? Austrian helmets often have asymmetrical vents.

Here is a pic of mine.

Nothing unusual, so no worries!
Even happened on later models such as M40s etc...

This is indicative of Austrian made M16/17/18. No worries and actually a nice idiosyncrasy. Chris, its not a Bell, the vents are rounded on the Bell whereas these are not rounded.

It'd be awkward using the stirnpanzer if the vents were so cockeyed.

I had exactly the same feeling until Doug steered me right on mine.
