WW1 German M16 Steel Helmet - Straight From The Trenches Of WW1

A fresh to the market WW1 German M16 steel helmet with much of its early green paint remaining to inside & out .
This helmet has clearly seen much action in the trenches of WW1 with heavy wear to its interior leather liner. The air ventilation lugs have been filled on one side this to prevent cold air entering when in wear. Underside of rim is marked with the maker logo of 'Bell L 64' for the manufacturer Richard Lindenberg A.G. of Remscheid-Hasten & size 64. Leather liner is of the first M16 model with all three pins well seated into the band & clearly not disturbed since their original placement in WW1.The whole liner system is tightly in place untouched for years. All three cushion holders present with tightening cord intact. Through the buildup of grime down inside the dome the lot numbers ' 797 ' can be seen.
Coming untouched & with the grime of over 100 years storage this is a timeless piece straight from the trenches of the Great War.
