Gildwiller1918 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Newly acquired WW1 era Austrian M16 helmet. These were similar in design to the German models with slight differences. The KuK made models typically only stamped their models on the exterior dome of the helmet with heat lot codes, while some factories used ink stamps to mark the interior of the helmets, which is often worn off or missing today. This particular one is stamped "L 82", the "L" stood for Ludwikow which was a steel/rolling mill. This one has been repainted prior to getting to me, I also have a newly made authentic liner and chinstrap being made to complete the helmet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
