WW1 German M17 Camouflage Helmet

An M17 German helmet shell in a most striking three colour camouflage scheme painted in multiple segments of tan ochre , forest green & brown around the whole helmet.
Probably one of the most striking camouflage helmets that I have yet come across the brush strokes & paint drips can be seen within the paint when closely examined . All of the segments have been divided carefully by hand drawn black dividing lines these creating a very effective zizag scheme to the helmets entirety. All three of the liner pins are undisturbed & original to the helmet with metal M17 band having had its leather pads removed some time ago with only very small traces of this remaining. Both brass chinstrap brackets remain. The maker logo for 'Bell L' ( Richard Lindenberg ) can be faintly seen through the age patina , size appears to be a 66.
