Original German WWI M16 Stahlhelm Helmet Shell - Battlefield Pickup Ordnance 48 Lead Ball & PowderOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice example of a totally original WWI German M16 Helmet shell, with remnants of what appears to be camouflage paint. The most noticeable features are the impact holes located on the top and rear of the helmet, a solid example of the harsh reality that is warfare. It is uncertain whether or not the damage was sustained while the helmet was being worn in combat or if it fell victim to target practice.
