This is an Austrian M58 helmet, with the Riddell liner. It was followed by the M75 with a leather liner.

Nice early one with a Feldgrau sweatband.

Cheers,

Yes nice Austrian M58 shell, factory refinished in the later M75 olive green... and the later type replacement chinstrap added.. (early one was copy of US WW II T1)
liner is of the second type.. issued from 1966, with the grey sweatband...just missing the Black leather liner chinstrap..
The makers mark?? ...sadly looks obscured buy the rust stain at the back of the Helmet...but may still be just possible to make out.... any chance of a close up GW!!??
