H-205  Model 1916 German Combat Helmet
Very tough helmet to encounter with these characteristics.  First of all, this is a helmet that was repainted by hand, possibly in the field, during the war. The dark green paint is about 85% complete. There are some areas where the paint is scratched and some where it is worn. Another reason we know it’s a “reissue” paint is that you can see where they stenciled the shell size (66) under the paint in the rear of the skirt.  This piece has a lot going for it, because the three-pad liner (in grey leather) is still present with the steel linerband. The front pad has a tear and the drawstring looks like an ancient replacement but overall, finding any decent liner in a Model 1916 is the exception to the rule!  Put this together with the fact that this example still has the leather chinstrap (in very nice condition I might add) and you have a real winner.  Don’t let this one get away.
