GERMAN WWI M.17 CAMOUFLAGE HELMET.

A BF64 manufactured M.17 helmet with the remains of its camouflage finish. The original finish is painted in a stripe pattern with thin separation lines. Many abrasions to the crown and the upper skull area as can be seen from our web images. Originally finished in a two colour plum and green camouflage. The original M.17 liner band is present with one of the liner pads still fitted to the steel liner band, one other pad loose within the shell but attached to the original but very frail chinstrap still with the helmet, this has broken at one stage and has been twisted around the strap lug to secure it. Still with both of the adjusting buckles to the strap. Traces of the owner’s name and unit to the inner lower rear skirt.
