H-209  WWI German Model 1916 Combat Helmet Complete with Scarce Frontal Plate
This configuration offered up a significant improvement in head protection versus the helmet alone…a good thing, as it adds almost five pounds to the already four pound helmet!  Finished in its natural base metal hue, the frontal plate is attached by a notch on either side that fit over the ventilation studs, with a black leather strap (which appears to be an original piece) that secured it further by wrapping around the rear of the helmet. The number “141” is stamped into the lower right, inner portion of the plate. Speaking of the helmet, its dark apple green paint is 85% intact, showing an even wear pattern. Barely visible in the shell are a few minor dings, they can be felt but are practically impossible to see! The interior contains one of the three original liner pads, with a metal liner band that was used on later versions of this model. The side of the interior is stamped S1.66. for the manufacturers code and shell size of the helmet. A very desirable and scarce combination!
