    Default M-17 Camo Helmet with Very Nice Paint + Gasmask with Cannister

    Hello,

    Here's a helmet I purchased recently from the family of a WW1 veteran. It came with a nice gasmask and cannister with the straps still intact.

    I was able to carefully remove an old display label with scotch tape that had been placed in the forehead area on the helmet many years ago, without damaging any of the paint. The label reads: "World War I German Helmet"

    There's also at least 1-fingerprint in the paint from the German soldier who painted this helmet, clearly visible on an ochre color paint panel.

    Best Wishes,

    Alan

    a beautiful example of a Camo.
    Its a shame about the liner but the exterior makes up for that 2 fold.

    Great pick up Alan. Helmet is beautiful. Well cared for but a nice aged patina to it. good job removing the tape.

    The mask and canister are in fantastic shape. How is the leather? Looks intact and soft.

    A very striking steel banded M16 camo Alan! Congratulations.

    Nice vibrant ochre colours and a lovely patina! Of note is the hessian imprint on the front right side of the dome. I’ve seen numerous examples of this and it has previously been attributed to being rested on hessian sand bags or similar, soon after painting and is a nice little extra piece of history! The gas mask is also very nice. Would love to see some photos of the helmet in the sunshine when you get a chance.

    Thanks very much for your nice comments Phil, Michael, and Andy, I appreciate it!

    Yes, the leather gas mask is still nice and supple.

    I'll see what I can do in the next couple of days to shoot the helmet in the sunlight outdoors and add some photos here.

    That's great info Andy about the Hessian sand bags imprint on the paint, I didn't realize this.

    Best Wishes,

    Alan
