Description

A fantastic German M18 helmet. Basically, a WW1 period time designed helmet model which was however rarely issued again in 1934 Reichswehr. The shell received WW1 period time liner type and was painted "applegreen". After 1935, two Wehrmacht decals were added!

The helmet is "B.P. 1934" stamped as well as shell size "66" marked. It is furthermore named to "R.Lurz". 
The shell is stamped E.T.66 to the side. 

This example comes with full factory paint. Both decals are also nearly 100%.

The liner is still flexible and soft. The prongs of the rivets were never opened. One missing. The liner is original to the shell.
The size should be 57.

Chins strap: Half of the chin strap is the correct type for this helmet. The longer part was missing and was replaced by a high-quality replica piece which is stamped with the Rb-number.

An excellent and very rare helmet!
