Stahlhelm W66

[philgilou]

Hello Dear fellows



One more find!



This nice M16 helmet with it's original paint. Very good conditions , leather liner with 3 horse pads still present.

It is a W 66 , that means Hermann Weissenberger in Stuttgart.

On the liner band it is stamped BA XIII 1916. XIII is the 13th armee Korps from Wurttemberg, which was commanded by general Max von Fabeck. BA is bekleidungs amt I mean!

This corps was stationed in Stuttgart and took part at the Verdun battle.

Here some photos of this helmet found in Benfeld in Alsace.

Happy with it due to the BAXIII stamp.

A nice day to all...

A super untouched example of a relatively scarce manufacturer in that they only made size 66 shells. Nice stamp on an early M16 liner and overall patina both inside and out.

Congratulations Phil!
