Authentic to the First World War Austrian issue infantry helmet, this late mfg. steel helmet w/leather liner and canvas / leather chinstrap has similar markings inside the rim and is the same weight as used by troops on the Western Front, Eastern Front or in the Italian Alps. It was preferred over the German version be-cause of its smaller brim, but still sported two helmet plate lugs in case the brow plate was to be used. Difficult to find now days, our Austrian helmet is a splendid accurate rendition of the combat helmet worn almost 100 years ago! Austrian Helmet.
