Austrian (Bundesheer ) M-58

[Ocad]

Nice honest example Reibert. I like prefer that pattern liner to the later ones and the tape repair on the chinstrap is a nice touch.

[Reibert]

Yes, I always prefer used, towed, gear and prefer such items to brand new items.

Finally managed to find an example with the sprung metal liner retainer clips to add to my collection

Nice addition to your collection James.

Thanks Jack it has taken me a very long time to finally find an example but well worth the wait ,i bought this on on a whim not even realising it had the liner clips so it really was a welcome surprise ,the Austrians were very innovative in many ways with there steel helmets and also there early Ballistic helmet programme with a very broad range of helmets trialled but unfortunately thrown by the wayside

Another well preserved helmet, manufactured by Ulbricht´s Witwe, Schwanenstadt, I received a couple of days ago.
