I'm hoping someone might be able to help me identify my two helmets. I was deployed to Afghanistan from 2013 - 2014 and purchased these two items from an Afghan bazar vendor who claimed they were WWI German helmets that were later used by the Afghan army after WWI. I purchased one smaller one and one larger helmet. I forgot what I paid for them, but I haven't tried to do any research on them until recently.
What I can tell so far is that the larger one looks Austro-Hungarian from the rivets but I can't tell what the smaller one is as I can't find any examples of the positioning of the bottom rivet. I also can't find any markings on the instead, so they are either fake, very faded, or painted over a lot. I also honestly don't know where exactly to look anyway.
Can anyone tell me anything about these helmets from the photos I attached? If you need a photo of a specific part, please let me know.
Thank you much!
Adam</blockquote>
