M16 stahlhelm - original shell?

Hello.

This postwar worked shell is for sale. Can you tell by these crappy pictures alone, if it is a real shell or not?

Thank you.

Looking like a repro. Real one with original paint and liner posted above for reference. Need better photos of the shell. NH

Thanks alot guys! I thought I saw a little ''duck'' there.

**Neil Hever** · 12-09-2014, 06:11 PM

By duck do you mean the visor? It does look funky. A sign of a repro if I am not mistaken. NH

**Finnlander** · 12-09-2014, 06:13 PM

Yeah exactly, the visor. Wierd looking one it is.

**Gunny Hartmann** · 12-09-2014, 06:19 PM

Yup it utter garbage from top to bottom!...

bad.

The liner is quite ugly on the repro. Again, here is a photo for reference with an early leather liner with leather liner band. NH
