Ebay q66 m16 opinions

[Holz90]

Hello everyone!

I'm finally getting around to trying to get an m16 for my collection and wanted some extra eyes on this before I threw some money around. Ultimately I'd just need a shell for the shelf but there is a good bit of (damaged) liner left. Does anything really stand out as "bad" on this one for a great war stahlhelm in the collection?

Hi Holz,

A nice 100% untouched Imperial German steel helmet. A tiny bit of damage to the liner band and what appears to be a repair, but aside from that all original including the string for the liner pads. Nice initials and signs the chinstrap posts were peened down with a hammer or similar to try to stop the chinstrap slipping off. There may even be some words carved into the top most pad. If you do purchase it, you may want to add a piece of thick card or similar formed in a ring, to the inside of the helmet to support the pads and liner as they look quite brittle.
