German WWI Military Cutout Helmet M18

German WWI Military Helmet M18

German Cutout Helmet WWI M1918 - This replica of a German WWI helmet will appeal to WWI military collectors and re-enactors.

Certain M1918 German Helmets had cutouts in the rim along the sides of the helmet.

These cutouts were done to improve hearing and to reduce echo created by the large, flared skirt.

Made from 18 gauge steel our helmet weighs exactly the same as the original German helmet.

Includes the three leather sections that make up the liner and the new designed two-piece chin strap which attaches directly to the helmet liner rather than the shell.

Comes in a standard Large size with a 22" (55.88cm) internal circumference.

The bolts on each side of the helmet were used to support an optional shield, the (Stirnpanzer AH6032).

Not popular with the troops due to the weight they were used mainly by snipers.

The bolts are hollow for ventilation under the helmet.
