Please pardon my ignorance, BUT
What is a Berndorfer?
I can see its a helmet, but I've never seen/heard of one before.
Could someone be so kind as to enlighten me on the subject?

Phil...have a look here, Austrian Berndorfer #2
Prost ! Steve.
Hello Steve, I do not know why is it called Hungarian, but it is often practice in literature. As I said, Berdorf where the helmets was produced by Krupp-Berdorf, is in Austria so how could it be Hungarian. Hungarian units - Honved, had the same equipment like the rest of KuK army.
I have 2 classic Berdorfs and 5 M17 of that producer

Thanks Steve.
Thanks for posting the picture. I have never seen a period photo of this style helmet in use. Cheers, Jim G.
How much do they go for?
Nice one!! Realy awesome!
Here is mine Austrian M16 Bendorfer stile
My friend thought he was buying a German M18 and this arrived. Looks like the one posted above, but a person on WAF identified it as a Hungarian M17. It does not look like the Hungarian M17 pictures I have seen. Note the liner rivets are in back of lugs, not in front. It looks to have been recently repainted. What do you think?
