Has a good chance but I would like to hold it to be sure. Rob
Understandable. I will wait until somebody can tell me for sure. Thanks for the input!
Hi Anon,
It’s an original M16 German Helmet shell. More hi res pictures would be great but from what I can see the paint does look period. Nothing looks contrived or aimed to deceive. No paint over the spot where the rear pin sat which is good.The colours too are a correct mix of ochre and has a good patina.
I like it but if you can get better pics even better.
Post some photos if you get it.

I think the paintwork is good along with the lid, it has the right shades and the external layer of grime imply it’s been sat on a shelf for a long time too. It has none of the freshness of a newly painted copy. Shame the liner is missing.
I like it.
Had good advice? Saved money? Why not become a Gold Club Member, just hit the green "Join WRF Club" tab at the top of the page and help support the forum!
I too agree - looks like a good one.
I would buy it if offered to me ,and the price was right
Very nice... a good one to own.
Unfortunately it sold before the OP could purchase it but hopefully when another comes up he’ll have a little more confidence in appraising WW1 camo paint jobs.
