Austrian Berndorfer helm made by Berndorfer Metallwarenfabrik around 1916.  This helmet saw only about 140,000 units produced making it a more rare helmet with a distinctive look that is similar to the more common M16 helmet.  This particular helmet was originally painted in a light brown color with still much of the original paint remaining,  

While it is missing its liner the helmet is in stable condition with some rust on both the outside and inside.  Unmarked which is normal.

A rare helmet that comes up for auction seldomly and one not to be missed by collectors of early steel helmets.
