  Genuine Austro-Hungarian M17 steel helmet of the First World War. Wartime web chinstrap, complete original leather liner, Isonzo-braun finish. With a named US veteran bring back provenance, France, 1918. (Lot: 1212)

  Genuine Austro-Hungarian Stahlhelm, Model M17, of the First World War. Austria-Hungary used the German M16 but produced its own M17 version, and this example shows all the correct Austrian markers.

  The key indicators of Austrian manufacture are the cloth (web) chinstrap with leather tabs and roller buckle, and the chinstrap attachment set higher on the dome than on German shells. The dome retains its characteristic side ventilation lugs (Hörner), which also served as the mounting points for the armored brow plate. The warm brown surface tone is consistent with the Austrian Isonzo-braun finish.

  An important dating detail: the cloth chinstrap points to wartime production of 1917 to 1918. Later, postwar Austrian helmets of this type used a leather chinstrap, so a complete web chinstrap marks this as a genuine wartime piece rather than an interwar one. Inside, it retains the complete original three-pad leather liner with its drawstring, a feature frequently missing or replaced on surviving helmets. The liner carries a size stamp reading 64.

  Provenance: the helmet is accompanied by an old collector tag stating that it was brought back from France in November to December 1918, and named to William Joseph Tobiska. In keeping with the period, the tag calls the helmet German: the American soldier did not distinguish the Austrian pattern from the German one, which is typical of war souvenirs and only underlines the authenticity of the story.

  Condition: an honest, untouched example with a textured surface, light oxidation, and wear consistent with a century old combat item. Offered exactly as found, a genuine WWI Austro-Hungarian helmet with complete liner, original wartime web chinstrap, and a named bring back provenance.

  AN-J-3 Pattern Leather Flight Jacket, McGregor Sportswear (Doniger), Russet Capeskin, Size 40, WW2/1940s (Lot: 1211)

  Genuine private-purchase leather flight jacket built on the AN-J-3 pattern, dating to the 1940s. Made by David D. Doniger and Company of New York and carrying the label of the firm’s civilian brand, McGregor Sportswear.

  The AN-J-3 was a 1943 joint Army and Navy project, intended as a single replacement for the Army A-2 and the Navy M-422A. Because of the wartime leather shortage, the leather version of the official specification was effectively never purchased for service, which makes civilian and private-purchase jackets in this silhouette especially interesting to collectors. Alongside its A-2 military contract, Doniger produced a civilian capeskin line under the McGregor label, and this jacket belongs to that line.

  The jacket is cut from russet capeskin, a lighter and softer hide than the goatskin used on military contracts. It shows the characteristic features of the style: the signature pointed Doniger collar with a buttoned throat latch, a Talon zipper with bell-shaped slider, a wind flap behind the zipper, buttoned patch pockets with a pen slot, pleated shoulders for movement, gusseted sleeves, a belted back, and ribbed knit cuffs and waistband. Inside there is a vertical pocket with a snap closure. The original McGregor Sportswear woven label is present.

  Condition: an honestly worn piece with a beautiful aged patina across the leather. There is general wear and some surface marking consistent with age. Offered as a genuine vintage jacket in worn, but awesome displayable condition.

  Provenance: private collection. The connection to a maker of military A-2 jackets, combined with the quality capeskin, makes this an attractive piece for the collector of vintage aviation clothing.
