Bargain basement # 190

An outstandingly rare helmet. Certainly the rarest which has ever graced the “Bargain basement” page. This is the Krupp designed helmet produced at Berndorf for the Austrian army in 1918. They only made them for a year. They only made them in shell size 64. The helmet is distinctive for it’s unusual placement of the liner connection points being at direct right and left rather than forward as is the case with every other German or Austrian helmet. This example retains it’s original chinstrap, liner frame and attachment rivets; although it was painted over at some point with what I refer to as “commie green”. Perhaps used by an eastern bloc country such as Yugoslavia (which was for the most part a section of the former Austro-Hungarian empire). Of course, there is the “Berndorf bear” marking at the rear. The helmet took a whack which caused a dent/crack. It remains a fascinating helmet which is unique in all helmetdom. $450.00
