Germany, Imperial. An M17 Steel Combat Helmet

This stamped, sheet steel construction helmet is magnetic and retains most of its original field-gray/green paint. It has its original steel liner band, held in place by three flat headed rivets, all three with their dual tabs remaining intact and securing the band in place. The chin strap bolts on either side are held in place by rivets and remain intact, as are the protruding ventilation side lugs on either side. The inside is stamped "BW188" in the dome. The helmet measures 235 mm (w) x 303 mm (d) x 170 mm (h), exhibiting scattered surface rust along with a splattered substance on the dome on the exterior, the drips of which trail off onto the front of the helmet, the interior with the surface rust more pronounced in the dome and on the liner band, with two of the strap bolt rivets slightly loose versus the body of the helmet. Fine.
