GERMAN WW1 M17 CAMO HELMET C/W CHINSTRAP - ET66

One Look original German WW1 trench helmet in an interesting 2 tone autumn camo of green and brick red with fine line black separation.
The helmet is complete. Chrome leather liner pads in good supple condition and with all tongue ends intact. Horsehair pads are there on 2 of the pads, the third has a piece of leather instead, this would appear to be period and as the rest of the helmet is sleepy so I have no doubts this is how it was worn.Metal liner band as per M17 configuration.
Rare original to it chin strap, present and complete and decent for it's age and to get a chinstrap on one of these helmets is extremely rare.
Large size ET 66.No stepped lugs as found on the big sizes.
Stamped ET66 to apron and there is a crown stamping although it's indistinct.
Great front line helmet and not one of the many spurious fake camos out there, this one is the real deal.
