Woodwork Find WW1 Austrian Medals Camo Helmet

[Fritziii]

Found these few items awhile back and now just getting around to looking at them more, mostly tinnies and a pretty neat one for the "Isonzo-Armee" but the one medal I have no clue what its for, seems to be silver but not sure. The lid is a fair shape but it's a real camo so no complaints. Any thoughts on the silver medal with two eagles fighting?

The medal with the eagles is an Italian one commemorating some battles of the VI Army Corps.

Hello Fritzii,
you have found a little treasure.

Step by step:
- The 2 pics of "Isonzo Armee" and Hungarian pin are called "Kappenabzeichen" ( Tinne for Austrian Cap) purchased to support the war effort and put on cap. I've seen Austrian cap wit 5/6 of those tinnies.

- The medal is a memory of VI Italian Army Corps, I don't know if is silver made ( watch the medal if you see "800" on some parts), awarded ony to the troops who participated to the Italians battles mountain : Podgora, Sabotino, San Gabriele, Monte Grappa since 1915 until 1918 made from Italian medals and coins factory " S. Pagani - Milano". On the eagles side on border you read the name of designer.... sorry but I dont read the name.

- The others items I think you know what are, nice is the Cap button of "K" for Kaiser, is late WWI period; the earliest are marked FJI for Franz Joseph I.

- About the elmet it's appear on good patina ad well preserved, inside have 3 round "bearings" brown or white ? ( the question is personal curiosity)

Thanks for your time, and sorry for long, long post.

Regards

A massive thanks to all

The "K" doesn't mean "Kaiser", it means "Karl" (for Kaiser Karl I. von Österreich).

Kind regards,
