World War One Imperial German 1916 Helmet Stahlhelm. Original with Chinstrap

Totally Original 1916 World War One German Helmet. Has a lot of its original feld-grau paint remaining, although it is a much browner shade than usual. Inside above the liner band is painted white.

This seems period done, but I cannot be 100% sure. Some scratches, rust spots, marks, however only minor. Original Iiner is in good shape, showing its age but still pliable. This helmet is circa 1917-18 because of its metal liner band and goat skin pads.

Liner still has original "pillows". Original chinstrap with brass hardware is present and is in excellent condition. No unit or other markings.

It is a size 62cm shell. It is clearly stamped Si. 62 in the correct position on the inside skirt. Si is the manufacture code for. Take a look at the photos and judge for yourself, ask if you have any questions!
