Hi all. First post here & I know nothing about military helmets except what I’ve read in the past hour online. Picked this up pretty cheap.
Here’s what I think I know about this:
-I think it’s real
- Seems to have 1914 stamped on inside
- metal parts seem not to be brass but some type of steel
- one of the red & white colored disks (kockade?) seems to have been painted later - maybe both. I understand one is supposed to be red & white & one not
- chin strap seems too perfect to be original but do not know.
***Going to research how to restore it. Anything anyone else can tell me would be greatly appreciated
