GERMAN WWI M.16 CAMOUFLAGE TRENCH HELMET.

A very nice camouflage trench helmet, unfortunately the stampings to the skull are not clear enough, the size ‘64’ is visible but the manufacturers coding is faint. To the exterior the helmet has been camouflaged in an ochre, brown and green, zigzag block pattern with quite wide separation lines. All of the paint finish is visible and bright with some slight losses to the crown area. It would appear that at some time in its life a collector has either varnished or polished the helmet, it has a slight sheen to the finish. To the interior all of the original apple green present with its M.16 leather liner band, its inner three pad liner all complete with the tongues of two of the sets of pads split with its original drawstring still intact. A rare and attractive helmet.
