Original German WWI M16 Stahlhelm Helmet with Panel Camouflage Paint and Partial Liner - marked Si66 Category_Gahendra Martini Rifles & Parts the battle of Trafalgar andOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice example of a totally original WWI German M16 Helmet, with a very nice "paneled" camouflage paint scheme. This was a very popular type of camouflage used on both sides of WWI. The stamped, sheet steel construction, helmet retains about 60% of its original hand painted camouflage paint. This was painted over the original field gray paint, so this is visible in areas where the paint has flaked off.
