GERMAN WWI M.16 TRENCH HELMET WITH ARMOURED FRONT PLATE.

A nice condition shell size 64 M.16 trench helmet. The two makers digits prior to the number are too faintly stamped to be visible. The helmet is still with its apple green with minor abrasions but having virtually 100% of the paint finish remaining, the crown area is a little thin. To the interior skirt there is some slight losses to the apple green finish but mainly intact, with its correct leather banded liner, with its three interior cushions, two of the tongues have the tips missing but the interior horsehair pads are all complete. Fitted with its rare armoured front plate, which is ‘Krupp Bell’ marked with the number ‘117’. The armoured front plate is a slightly different shade than the helmet, the plate also has its leather strap missing.
