Original WW1 German M16 Stalnhelm Helmet With a WWI Stirnpanzer Armor Plate

Description

This is an Original WW1 German M16 Stalnhelm Helmet With a WWI Stirnpanzer Armor Plate.  This is a very rare and fantastic set, The helmet has pitting, but no holes in it other that the ones that are supposed to be there.  I looked for manufactures markings on the helmet, and I think I can make out where they once were, but the markings were sometimes very small and light, especially on the larger shells, so due to the pitting its not visible.  I have another original shell to compare it to though and everything matches, I also found some original green paint, so I'm pretty certain the shell is original.  As far as the armor plate, its harder to tell, but it fits nicely, when I compared it to an original it looked exactly  the same, the weight is the same etc.  Also, they both have pitting, which as far as I know only occurs on very old metal, so I'm nearly certain both pieces are original.  The shell has some original green paint, although 99.9% of it is gone, I was able to spot the smallest amount on the inside of the shell near the chinstrap lugs, it would never show up in a picture though.  Both the shell and the helmet are solid, there are no thin weak parts, the lugs on the helmet are stable and fit well to the stirnpanzer.
Let me know if you have any questions!
