Hello all,

I am, totally, outside any area of personal expertise, so I really need some help and advise on the value of this helmet, please!

M16/17 Austrian Heer Double Decal Transitional Helmet

All-in-all, the helmet appears to be in pretty good shape:

- the liner is intact, showing signs of continual use (sweat stains) with some flaking on the leather

- the strap is all there, but separated by one of the buckles

- the paint has some scrapes & slight dings but there are no deep gouges or dents (visible to me) to the helmet, itself

- the decals are scuffed but still have full color & excellent legibility

Here are links to several more photos:

Hi,
Can anybody identify what type of US helmet this is? The sides look odd (some kind of "hinge") where strap attaches to helmet. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I cant figure it out.

I recently purchased some "trench art" lighters from a fellow in Connecticut. Most of them are your everyday spent shell lighters but this on looks almost like a Zippo. I find it hard to believe the lighter itself was made by a soldier, perhaps a factory worker. There is however some sort of insignia on the front of it I don't recognize. Any input would be great.

Also, the inner part will not come free from the shell, what would be a good way to break this free?
