Model 1921, flat model
Two models were made with the same model year. This is the flat model.

This helmet has no paint on the outside and 1/4 of the rim is missing. There is green/gray paint on the inside. One possible scenario is that when they removed the paint on the outside they broke the rim and the helmet was put aside. On one of the leather pads is "A.10" stamped - 10th Artillery Regiment. A10 only existed between 1920-1927. (From my private collection.) |
