    German model 18 tanker helmet

    Here you go, I'm not 100% percent certain on this one that's why I call it another possible varient. It could be from another Country, but the markings and liner system look to be of German Origin. It's such a rare Helmet that it's hard to believe that a specimen could have remained untouched...

    German model 18 tanker helmet

    Thank you for taking the time to answer my question about the liner system it confirms my thoughts I agree this is not a modified shell but a totally new creation, the rolled rim is very convincing of that.

    German model 18 tanker helmet

    Hi Michel, That is a very interesting and incredible find, would you be able to provide any information on the pad and liner system. It looks like the regular M18 liner system, you can see parts of the original leather pads which are now missing. Was it the typical M18 liner three pads set up...

    I didn't know the man, but my sincere condolences go out to his many friends and family I'm sure who surely miss him. It's always sad to hear of the passing of someone in our small community. I know I still haven't come to terms with our dear friend Steves passing.
