WW1 German M-16 Steel Helmet Shell Used by a Medic, standard M-16 steel helmet shell with field grey paint finish to the shell. The shell has been painted with red cross medics insignia to the front, sides, rear and top. Shell is complete with the leather liner band but no liner pads. Partial chinstrap remains. This helmet may well have been used in the Third Reich era, not necessarily during WW1.

Helmer has an old wire hanging strap attached to it. Dusty and uncleaned. Shell stamping is not clear, looks like ‘-J62’.

Remains of the name of the original owner to the interior of the shell. Makers and size stamped ‘Si 66’. Generally a good example.
