Rare WW1 German M-16 Steel Helmet of the Garde Regiment, superb example of an M-16 steel combat helmet retaining nearly all of the original field grey paint finish to the shell. To the side of the helmet is the original Hohenzollern shield as used by the Prussian Garde regiments. Reverse of the helmet with applied unit number. Interior of the shell retains the leather liner band with three brown leather liner pads attached. A later WW2 type leather chinstrap has been fitted to the interior. Overall this is a very good example of a scarce WW1 German steel combat helmet.
