M17 size 66 Heer Transitional double decal helmet

Excellent pre war Austrian M17 helmet reissued in the Wehrmacht Heer. The helmet had a M31 type liner factory fitted and two decals applied. The Heer decal retains up to 99% of its original covering and is the textbook and rare type as made by Gus Abel. The tricolor decal was painted over as per regulations in 1940. The factory fitted liner is a size 59 and the chinstrap is nicely dated 1930. The helmet is a very nice example of a transitional double decal helmet with rare decal in untouched condition.
