"Last Ditch" Austrian Bundesheer "M-75" -Helmet
Hi, mates, here in the forum we have already had many threads regarding the two-piece, (dem "Zweiteiligen"), steel helmet M-58 and M-75 of the ÖBH / ( Österreichisches Bundesheer ) .
Some examples:
M-75 Bundesheer United Nations
Austrian M75
Austrian (Bundesheer ) M-58
For the amount of EUR 30,-- (including shipping) I was able to purchase this heavily worn helmet.
Referring to the book by Olivier C. Dorell:
"THE
AUSTRIAN M1
STEEL HELMET"
my helmet is a steel helmet used in the ÖBH with a "6th pattern" liner.
The eyelets of the liner and the brass rivet of the liner chin strap were heavily soiled with verdigris, which I was able to clean gently.
The closure of the chin strap is stamped with the letters OLC, which stands for the manufacturer "Overhoff & Companie, Lüdenscheid".
Inside the shell of the helmet the following is stamped in yellow colour
the logo of the company ULBRICHT´S WITWE, SCHWANENSTADT, and next to it: SCH-85
Here´re some images of the shell:
