M17 Si 66 camouflage helmet

[marvolo59]

Hallo, I'll like your opinions about my M17 Si 66 ( a collector said me that the manufacture code Si. is for Eisenhütte Silesia, Paruschowitz Oberschlesien) and they made only size 62-66. This helmet came from an old collectoion of WWI helmets.
I noticed a particularity 'that' the helmet has its original chinstrap which I think is the same Pickelhaube type......
Camouflage colour are yallow, green and very dark brown.
There are also a name and some writiten inside helmet
very nice condition and good patina.
I'd like to know some more information about this helmet.
thank you

Really nice M17 camo in great condition but, the chin strap appears to be an aged copy IMO.
