Here is a good example of an original WW1 German Steel Helmet with MG unit insignia. This from my own collection of German Steel helmets. The helmet in fair condition with most of its wartime finish. Original liner still present, and although the leather is dry its not brittle and has no cracks or damage to the cord holes. The dryness mainly cause by being a centrally heathed house on a shelf for years!
The cord/string replaced and the chinstrap is missing as is one of the liner rivetts, Also there is some rust present which is coming through the finish otherwise a good example. The item "WW1 GERMAN STEEL HELMET, ORIGINAL, CAMOUFLAGE WITH LINER + INSIGNIA, M.
