WW1 Imperial German M16 Steel Helmet

WW1 Imperial German M16 Steel Helmet

WW1 German model 1916 steel helmet, in sleepy un-cleaned condition. Dusty overall, it retains most of its original paint. The leather liner band & its pins are completely undisturbed, all three pads are present (old repair to one) and have their horse hair pillows intact within. The original chin strap is present, one attachment loop absent, probably lost when souvenired.

Maker stamped B.F for F.C Bellinger & size marked '64' Nice clear stamp to the dome 'R 503'

A better than average example of the classic great war German combat helmet.
