Restoring and Converting an Austro Hungarian M17 Helmet to a German WW2 Wehrmacht Helmet!

Hello my friends!
In this video we will be restoring a Austro Hungarian M17 Helmet, to a German WW2 Transitional Wehrmacht helmet!
I bought this helmet for a good price, and the condition is perfect for a restoration!
After WW1, the Germans had a shortage on helmets, so they decided to use the WW1 helmets like the M16, M17 and M18. ( Including the Austro Hungarian M17 )
These helmets were used from the beginning, until the end of World War 2.
Some History about the M17 helmet:
Austria-Hungary purchased about 416,000 German helmets from November 1916 until the end of the war and also began its own licensed production starting in May 1917.
The Austrian M17 helmet was similar to the German M16, but was colored golden-brown (known as Isonzo-braun), had a cloth chinstrap and had the chinstrap rivet located higher up on the steel shell. From May 1917 till the end of World War I 534,013 were produced
I hope you enjoy this video! :)
