Description

*German, WW2, Transitional Austrian M17 Steel Heer Helmet – Double Decal – No Liner*

An interesting and increasingly rare transitional German steel helmet based on the Austrian M17 pattern, featuring both Heer (Army) and National decals—one over each ear. This helmet has no liner but remains in very good condition considering its age and service.

Originally manufactured during World War I, the Austrian M17 was based on the German M16 design, with subtle differences including a higher chinstrap rivet position, and factory-applied Isonzo-braun (golden-brown) paint. Between May 1917 and the end of the war, over half a million were produced, many at the Krupp plant in Berndorf, Austria.

This example was repurposed by the Third Reich during the 1930s, prior to the introduction of the M35 helmet. Its original WWI paint was stripped and replaced with early WWII "Apfelgrün" (Apple Green), still largely intact. No maker or size stamps are visible, which is typical for Austrian-produced M17s, as many used ink markings that were easily painted over.

The M17, M16, and M18 helmets saw extended postwar use due to a massive surplus after WWI, with around 8.5 million German helmets having been produced. These were issued to the Reichswehr, Freikorps, and later retrofitted with new decals and chinstraps during the early Nazi period. Even after the M35 was introduced, earlier models like this one continued in use among second-line and training troops.

*Condition*
Brown base coat visible beneath the green. Decals are clear if battle worn. No liner. Overall solid and in good condition considering its age and history. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
