Original Imperial German WWI M16 Stahlhelm Helmet Shell with M1917 Liner Band - Marked Si 66 MG 34 Accessories and long 7 1/2 barrelsOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice example of an original WWI German M16 Helmet shell, maker marked Si 66. The original green paint is still well retained inside the shell, with about 60% still present on the exterior, with the expected wear. It does not look to have been repainted at any time. The three liner split pins are all retained, holding in the M1917 Liner band, but the leather pads are all gone. The helmet is stamped next
