World War I WWII M1916 German Helmet - Camo M1916 Nice Shape Good Original Color for over 100 years old
The M1916 has the original side-mounted horn-like ventilator lugs which were intended to be support for an additional steel brow plate or Stirnpanzer, which only ever saw limited use by snipers and trench raiding parties, as it was too heavy for general use
Original Camouflage paint is rough but visible (see all photos). The camouflage paint was not formally introduc...ed until July 1918, when German Army Order II, No 91 366, signed by General Erich Ludendorff on 7 July 1918, outlined official standards for helmet camouflage. The order stipulated that helmets should be painted in several colors, separated by a finger-wide black line.
64 is stenciled on the inside and something is written in pencil, unknown if persons name or exactly what. I took a picture Missing rear rivet for helmet liner and NO HELMET LINER.
