Re: Is this a WW1 German Helmet?
German WWI M16, I think, looks good and original, though these are not something I know a lot about, I've had two, but none at the moment. Worth c$400-600, I think, but I could be wrong, as I dont look at prices of these anymore.

Re: Is this a WW1 German Helmet?
blackice1981, a text book example of a Model 1916 Stahlhelm, super condition, you are very lucky to obtain one complete with liner/pads/chinstrap, all look 100% genuine !....nice find. The marking 'NJ 62' is the maker mark for ' Veringte Deutsche Nickelwerke, of Sohwerte i/Westfaln' they only made M16's in size 62, so there will be a '2' next to the '6' as this is the shell size, talking of numbers, look in the helmet at the top, the crown, there should be some letters/numbers that identify the rolling mill where the steel was manufactured, I have some of the codes and may be able to I.D. Value, these helmets (COMPLETE, AS THIS ONE IS) have almost doubled in the past 2-3 years, id say around £400+ ($600+).

Re: Is this a WW1 German Helmet?
Hi Everyone! Thanks for the replies! Oradour, I'll check on the those numbers/letters & post a follow-up shortly. I'm pleased to hear I didn't overpay. I paid approx. $550 (Canadian) & it came with a British WW2 Bayonet (unfortunately in very poor condition) & a German WW1 Bayonet (in very nice condition). Thanks again!!

Given that you received some blades with the helmet...I think you did very well! Hard to find M16's with the leather liner band being intact! Congrats!
