Austrian Sun Helmet for Palestine

[Peter_Suciu]

Did anyone see the Austrian sun helmet that Regimentals is selling? Very interesting, but I have never seen even a photo of Austrians in Palestine. Anyone?

Hey Peter, My poor brain seems to recall some information on this line, but I can not remember where I read it, but I believe that there were very few Austrians in Palestine, but there were some.
Hey I found it, but there are no photos.

Do you have a Link?

I can't seem to find that helmet on the Regimentals site. I guess it's gone already?

Cheers
