Austrian Army M1 Helmet
The Austrian Army M1 Helmet is a genuine Bundesheer-issue steel combat helmet built on the iconic M1 pattern adopted across NATO during the Cold War. The stamped steel shell carries a factory olive drab finish and pairs with a removable plastic liner fitted with an Austrian-spec leather headband, canvas suspension, and adjustable chinstrap. Total weight runs about 3.5 lbs (1.6 kg), matching the heft of the original US M1 it was modeled on. A solid pick for militaria collectors, reenactors building a NATO or Cold War impression, and anyone who wants an authentic European-issue M1 clone.

No complaintsHave a somewhat large head, so was worried about whether it would fit. No complaints, perfect fit, in great shape for surplus wear. Glad I snagged the last or penultimate one in stock

Nice HelmetMine was obviously used but not abused too much. There are small dents on the pot but isnt visually noticeable only running your hand on it can you feel them. The liner was more wore than the pot. There are two pins that connect the leather to the liner that have tore through making the liner slip a little but its not too big of an issue. Only needed minor adjustment to fit my head.

Outstanding ItemI received one of these for Christmas, and was rather happy with it! Fits my large head, and pays much homage to the original M1 Helmet (I've owned a few) and has some improvements which i greatly appreciate. Comes in good condition, with some minor surface discrepancies, but much better than I expected for this price! I recommend to all who want the look and feel of the original M1 without the busting the wallet.

As Advertised.Awesome additional to any Military Surplus or Helmet collection. Mine was in good shape for surplus and had black tae around the rim. I would guess this one may have been a recuits helmet? At least it makwe sfor a good story.
