Looking at the feedback history it is proving rather popular with bidders WW1 GERMAN HELMET STAHLHELM M16 STURMPANZER A7V TANK 1918 | eBay
and another although the work looks very much alike Ww1 German Helmet ( Stahlhelm ) Machine Gunner | eBay
I think I'd rather have the helmet in original condition, but maybe it was rusty and this was a way to salvage it. Dave
and I suppose there may come a time when a relic condition helmet is valued more because it is undecorated!
