Nicely gentle sloping design makes this helmet very attractive with top shelf eye appeal. Normal to minor combat wear is present. Split-pins intact, tightly secured and retaining also their finish. The helmet's exterior shows use and wear yet in good overall shape. Partial leather liner is present, shows use and blood stained. Void of a chin strap and drawstring.

A super-rare "Kusten Artillerie" helmet, or a jacked-up $200 beater ? Notice how the outside rim has been avoided re: camo application. Believable camo wear on the rims has been historically problematic.
