Last model KuK dragoon officer's helmet - Austrian
This, perhaps one of the most handsome of all the late period Austrian helmets, is essentially in good shape. However, some of the paintwork has been retouched and the silk lining is missing. The eagle helmet plate has been replaced with a 1st Uhlan officer's plate. The original would have had the full Hapsburg coat of arms on the eagle's chest.

KuK dragoon NCO's helmet - Austrian
These helmets were worn by the Austrian heavy cavalry in various forms from the late 18th century onwards. This good example is of the ultimate form, as used in World War 1 and in the annexation of Bosnia in 1908. The body of the helmet is leather and the base of the comb is polished brass, indicating NCO status.
