German M16 steel helmet from 1916, an exceptionally rare specimen. This model represents the first edition with its original field-grey RAL 7033 paint, distinct from later versions painted in RAL 7009 grey. Retaining 90% of its original finish, this helmet bears the ET66 stamp (Eisenhüttenwerke Thale Harz) and remains free of corrosion. Equipped with the M91 chinstrap stud, it retains its period-correct interior liner. An authentic collector's piece for the discerning military historian. Unlimited returns guaranteed.
