Original Imperial German WWI M16 Stahlhelm Helmet Shell with Museum Label - marked T.J.68 British Uniform Dating from the 1870's orOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice example of a totally original WWI German M16 Helmet shell, with a great look and markings. The original green paint is still well retained inside the shell, with about 60% still present on the exterior, with areas of paint loss and oxidation.
